I created a parody Donald Trump account as an experiment. It was deleted for "impersonation". Are you saying if I had run it on my own PDS, other people would get to choose whether it was deleted for them or not?


I obviously can't speak to your specific situation. As I understand it, both X and bluesky require parodies to be labeled.

From what I can tell, most content moderation on bluesky is done via labelers, which you need a pds to run, but not to use.

Both X and bluesky have semi-automated moderation processes with an inherent false positive rate. The two high profile cases I'm aware of (Jessie Singal and Laura Loomer) that were suspended automatically eventually got turned back on once a human was involved.

No, they sent an email to the account's email address saying it had been deleted, and they deleted it.
