    I’ve been banned on bluesky because I choose to follow a curated group people’s accounts (I don’t remember what it was called that someone shares a bunch of people where you can choose to follow all with one click) about books which had over 100 people in it. Never went back…

      That seems unlikely. More probably some random user put you on his own personal block list no one uses.

        Is that why bluesky closed my account? How ignorant of me that I couldn’t realize someone personally blocked me but not the bluesky.

        I was talking to some other people about books in general. Someone shared lost of accounts which you can follow I checked the accounts and saw that most are from sci-fi writers and publishers. So, I clicked follow all kind of a thing which let you follow everyone on the shared list. And afterwards my account was banned by bluesky. I told them what happened but they didn’t respond and I didn’t try again.
