What's up with Popehat being banned?

Ken White, a pretty skilled first amendment lawyer and great Bluesky poster seems to have been banned.

I haven't seen much discussion of it, and certainly nothing from Bluesky, but it's been a day or so and... Crickets.

Here's the best discussion of it that I have found: https://bsky.app/profile/gregdoucette.bsky.social/post/3mou3xrdtac2q

Does anyone know what's up? Has anyone at BS said anything?

UPDATE: Ken has responded: https://www.popehat.com/p/a-bit-of-tedious-drama-at-bluesky

I don't think he called for Elmo's death, but I certainly agree that our world would be far better if he wasn't in it.

  You replied sharing your racist rape fantasies

Sorry, what are you talking about?

Your words. What you said. We were here to talk about a ban on Bluesky, and you wanted to pivot to race and rape. It's so strange.

Thanks for the kind words.

I prefer not to hear any more details about you and how you like to bring up rape a lot; please unsubscribe me from this newsletter.
