Alright, that is quite messed up. I'm not part of the general Vtuber community, but it was nice seeing the guinea pigs you have, and I liked using your situation as an example for people to get over here. :(
I didn't know there was a situation where that could even feasibly happen.
That's actually fucked up reason, I saw the more detailed email screenshot from the comments below.
I'm sorry they did this to you, I hope it can be resolved.
Who the heck reported saying it's unwanted notif?
If someone doesn't want a specific person following or notif going off, just block, wtf? 💀
If this was from mass following that seems so silly since starter packs are a thing? Your posts read nothing like spam otherwise so wtf I hope the tag gets removed.
I am so sorry that had happened to you and its not fair that you were label as a spam when literally we can see everywhere and respect people boundaries. I hope at some point things will go for the best and ill repost to warn people of what happen!
@pfrazee.com I'm guessing this was because of community reports, but it's obv people being report happy.
I understand that spam accounts (defined as mass follows and irrelevant posts) have some similar patterns, but this account posts actual posts with real replied.
Hey @support.bsky.team why was she sniped?
Please fix this clear error on your end.
Nafilia was doing nothing wrong! She was just excited about her numbers growing!
So being happy about her followers finding her on here is considered a bad thing??
That's one follow notification. No one is obligated to follow back, how is there any spam involved?
This response is poorly formed and poorly thought out, and is concerning from a moderation perspective if this can just happen to active users who find success on the platform
What this tells me is if one gets too popular in this dog shit app, @moderation.bsky.app and @support.bsky.team can just snipe you and delete your account.
Probably outsourced, and the agent doesn't understand how social networks work. Or, the usual case, the HR or Hiring Team is as usual "knows best who to hire" they got someone not fit for the job. 😅
Like my ex-colleague. They write replies that way. 🤣 (And I have to clean it up. 💀)
What this tells me is that they’re mad you have too many followers!
Which means being nice and following a lot of people is bad??
I’m more than a little confused.
Is Elon Musk sending people to Blue Sky to make bad decisions?
This is absolutely wild. @moderation.bsky.app Please fix this, Nafila worked extremely hard to get where she was... punishing her for success is a bummer dude...
Precisely!
Just because some people don’t like her being popular isn’t justification for a snipe!
If people don’t want to see her excitement for her numbers, they can simply not follow her.
Mass reporting is something people from X do.
wtf!! i am sorry to hear about this! that just fucking stupid, you just been having a good enjoyment and discussions about subjects you like! this is just dumb!
oh gosh no Q-Q im so sorry
if this was automated as some people suspect, then i really hope it can be fixed to avoid something like that from happening.
is this account temporary with chances to get the old one back? or no chance to get it back?
probably the following 50k people to gain followers, but if people want to follow that many people, I don't think it's hurting anyone, people can choose if they want to follow back.
so apparently it was because people complained I honestly mostly been using sky bridge follower to find everyone on Twitter and following anyone who likes my Guinea pigs pics
They're complaining because they don't like that you have more followers and think you're cheating, lol. Someone was arguing with me on Twitter before, and randomly brought up the fact that I follow alot of people, so my following isn't genuine, lol.
Oh wth?!
That really sucks after you put your heart and soul into your content..
Have you tried contacting support or the staff directly or something??
I was under the impression bluesky has better support for these cases
Anyways, I follow back🙂↕️
I have been noticing similar issues happening to a few other people as well.
To anyone who wants to help the users being affected by these issues, please @ the official bluesky support and/or fill out a Bluesky feedback form, preferably with more exact details of the accounts affected.
@support.bsky.team That wasn't warranted in any way. Please fix that. If basic usage of this social media platform leads to this happening, your gonna have a massive problem in the long run.
That is just so sad... :( I was confused at first, that I saw you following me again and then I saw what happened. Like wtf, how could that happen @bsky.app? So much work just gone for no reason...
But it's nice to see the support of your community! ❤️
Oww wtf this is a huge L on their part. I’m so sorry this happened to you, I hate that you were trying to be supportive and got shit on, theres always a block button but people actively reporting you is disgusting
i just saw all this and this is so frustrating, every anger or sadness you must be feeling is totally justified, if you need to chat or need an ear to vent to lmk :c esp losing comms and showcases ahh... sending you lots of good vibes and hoping your piggies give u some extra love today 🩵🩵
im so sorry this happened to you much love and i honestly dont see issue with this support system i feel like its just people who are jealous not gettin the attention they want all imma gonna say is dont let this bring you down keep doing what you love keep being an amazing person
i can still see the main account if anything but it does have spam labels. i think it's best to basically have a cooldown on the following people bit and talk to bsky in the meantime. from what i've seen so far, at least it's humans talking to you instead of bot mods
What do they mean by you spam them with notifications?? Each individual person you followed only received a single notification.... They dont get a notification for all the other people you followed in the starter pack or whatever. I dont understand this response at all.
This makes no sense when they have a feature that allows you to follow everyone on a list. They created a feature to make a list of users, and ALSO created the feature to follow everyone on that list. ??? You can't ban someone for using a feature that you created. Bsky do better please
but these people wont have more than 2-3 accounts...
its not like 1 user gets 100 notifications on their 100 accounts and IF they would its a them problem.
wtf who did the ruling in this?!?
I truly don't understand what the complaint is here. You followed too many people? That's only 1 notification per person though? It's not like they all get notifications for each person you follow.
And why does your follower/following ratio matter?? Is this really from bsky?
@bsky.app @support.bsky.team hey Bluesky moderation team, please clarify the reasoning for this decision. One of the reasons we left twitter is because we got punished for having a "bad" follower / following ratio. Following someone only sends one notification, so something isn't tracking here.
Some legitimate reasons I can think of for this decision:
- following many users in a short amount of time
- pattern of following & unfollowing many or the same users
If that's what happened, then I would consider the decision fair, but the wording of the email does not lend confidence.
I don't see the problem here. Do they not want interaction in their platform? I feel like this is THE place for smaller creators to pop off. This is not the way for bsky to do things
Too many notifications to users who don't want them... from following?
If following notifications are a spam filter-able offense, then perhaps management should just push an update that lets one customize their notification feed.
Hopefully someone with some sense looks at the case!
Try not to blame yourself. Everyone says the algorithm LIKES when you network and engage with as many people as possible and now you're being punished. That's not on you that's on Bluesky for not making it clear.
Did they not give you a warning or anything? Just ban straight off the bat?
thats a weird take. who tf would be unhappy about being followed? especially after releasing starter packs where you can MASS follow people as a feature!
I didn't complain about you but I did unfollow you because your posts/reposts were overtaking my feed and I had to scroll a lot sometimes to find other people. No hard feelings. Idk if that's what people complained about but I just want to let you know a possible cause.
Yeah I made a reddit post calling out this issue and all I the replies I got were from people who either were happy it happened or didn't understand the situation.
After thinking about this all day... I'm starting to suspect it was the starter packs to blame for all this as they weren't a thing until recently, as far as I can recall. So we all may need to significantly reduce our use of them to avoid getting flagged in the future.
Sorry to see this happen to you 🥺 to see them say that accounts have went and complained about you instead of blocking/muting...I thought we moved here to curate our peace not be toxic yall

(repost bc i worded this wrong initially HAHAHA)
I really like seeing the Guinea Pig you shared! ;w;)

Please ask team to reconsider.
Please fix this clear error on your end.

from Bluesky Developer Guidelines 1B:
"Any method to automate generating followers or interactions, including account generation tools"
ia automated tool for interacting and following, "spaming" notifications
Just because some people don’t like her being popular isn’t justification for a snipe!
If people don’t want to see her excitement for her numbers, they can simply not follow her.
Mass reporting is something people from X do.
Y’all need to do better.
man wtf

Their response makes it sound like you were spamming peoples notifications, but you weren't using @ spam or anything like that. Very strange.
This isn’t right, and I’m so sorry. 😞
(IM JOKING IM TROLLING IM KIDDING IM JOSHING IM TOMFOOLING DONT KILL ME IM SORRY FOR ALL THAT STUFF IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOAD OF BULLSHIT)

Cause I knew we followed each other somewhere
bulk following makes zero sense since there are list that do exactly that by their own system
Re-followed.
Bc what notifs are you spamming at people, one singular follow notif and then likes and reshares on their posts? You know, actual engagement???
@support.bsky.team please look into this legitimately, don't fuck up this early
But it's nice to see the support of your community! ❤️
I hope you can get everything back eventually tho
@nafilavt.bsky.social
although I'm sure if you appealed they'd help you out since I didn't notice any spam-like behavior.
I spend time following, looking at peoples following, following people who like my stuff, interacting, etc
I hope you get your account back, that's so messed up
in any case, followed
its not like 1 user gets 100 notifications on their 100 accounts and IF they would its a them problem.

I seriously can't imagine why anyone would have a problem with someone actively engaging on here and in as positive of a way as you consistently do.
Did they not give you a warning or anything? Just ban straight off the bat?
Sky is lookin' kinda gray here, ya'll...
this is honestly the first time I have seen this happen on here.
I'm so sorry. :/
(in all seriousness, don't let this beat you down. you've done it once, you can do it again! 💙)
Otherwise theres no reason for them to do so
That is so unfair and unjustice
Really hope you can get your account back
Free Nafila for sure
I hope your account is reinstated quickly and this can just be your alt or something!!
