Kinda shows just how "decentralised" bluesky actually is if they can just ban her like that.
Stop making centralized websites sound so good... banning known harassers and grifters before they can hurt people.
Also, you'd see the exact same complaining if this had been a lemmy.world account. Nothing stopping her from making her own instance, but she won't because she doesn't understand how any of that works and it's too much effort when she can just complain about being censored for her beliefs (to harass minorities or whatever).
The centralized part of Bluesky is the node infrastructure that connects all the instances together. As I understand it, anybody can start their own instance, but they all run through Bluesky's lemmy.world equivalent. I've seen plenty of people from other instances, but it seems like just a way to host your account off the main platform as far as I can tell from using the official app.
You realistically cannot host your own Bluesky instance.
If you don't like it, just use the at proto protocol and make your own app.
Aside from that, it wasn't even her Main account that was banned. She was making multiple accounts,
And it was one of her sock puppet accounts that was banned.
Of course, after they realized she was making sock puppet accounts, they banned the main one also.
One instance app!
