So, Bluesky (again) has censored my collage which I posted today, tagging it "sexually explicit imagery" – in other words, pornography. This is worse than anything I've ever experienced on FB and Insta.

Title translation: „I am sorry for what happened, began her first letter, there is nothing I have to blame myself for, ended her last“.

This is another one of those collages which I contemplated to destroy or rework due to its reference to a certain entity in my past biography, but decided not to.
