Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky

Bluesky is weird to me. I tried to use it for all of 15 minutes. One of the recommended feeds was called "Blacksky", which is a feed specifically tailored for black users of Bluesky. I'm perfectly fine with that. I was, completely innocently, asking if there were other feeds based on race, similar to blacksky. I was threatened with a ban for racism. My question was very literally phrased "I see that blacksky exists, does the platform also have other race-specific feeds for users? Or only this one? It's the only one that was recommended to me which seems strange for a new user."
Being threatened with a ban goes way too far, but your question(s) as phrased does seem very much like sealioning even if that wasn't the intention, so I can see why a moderator might think it was. Obviously, they should have clarified first.
