Sure, there’s a few shops and seating areas nearby. No, they were doing it to skip the queue. Heaven forfend someone not in a shirt and jacket flies in the posh seats. 2111
Angus Duncan @angusduncan.me · 27/11/2025It’s funny that people in Brexit land sing the praises of the SNCF, when it’s actually the worst advert for nationalised railways going. Yes, some of their trains are fast - but they’re really run-down. My TGV today was 25 mins late, then 40, then 60. Then it was 80. I’m due €4 back for this. 040

BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this?
The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us.
Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime.
What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful.
[the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.]
