They get mass-blocked a lot; this appears to make them furious, but is not the same as being banned. Generally, Bluesky mostly bans people over stuff in their profile, which has much stricter rules than posts.

What I saw were claims (and screen recordings) of being instabanned, not mass-blocked, for statements like “there are only two genders” which is a pretty basic conservative stance. One of the sources was that End Wokeness account, so not exactly an unbiased source.

I did make an account to test the waters with such statements, and wasn’t immediately banned, so maybe it’s not true.

I would wonder if they put something insane in their bio. There are lots of transphobes on Bluesky; eg this list seems to have thousands of people: https://bsky.app/profile/hedgehogsafety.bsky.social/lists/3l...
