R18 Artist Has Account Deleted on Blue Sky

With Twitter’s recent temporary ban in Brazil, lasting over a month, many Brazilian users migrated to alternative social networks like Blue Sky and Threads, the Facebook-owned platform. During that time, a few international accounts created profiles on Blue Sky to maintain their Brazilian audience.

Recently, Blue Sky has seen even more international users join due to news that Twitter might train its AI using user content, a move that has sparked further migration from people strongly against AI.

R18 Artist Has Account Deleted on Blue Sky

However, Blue Sky may not be an ideal option for hentai artists. Numerous Japanese R18 artists report account bans due to violations of the platform’s guidelines.

A recent example is the artist Oda Non, who notified his fans on November 9 that his account was deleted for violating the terms. Oda stated:

“My account on Blue Sky was deleted. I didn’t notice earlier since the email went to spam, but it seems shota images are not allowed. I even set it as sensitive content, but I hadn’t studied the site’s policies enough.”

Oda Non expressed disappointment in later tweets, saying he liked Blue Sky for its ease of use and friendly community but acknowledged he hadn’t thoroughly read the platform’s terms of service.

This is not the first instance of a hentai artist facing account deletion on Blue Sky. As other users have experienced, the platform may not be the best fit for explicit content, in contrast to Twitter, where content policies are more relaxed.

Below are some reactions from Japanese fans regarding Oda Non’s account deletion:

“Hmm, seems like Blue Sky is strict…”

 

“As expected, we need a domestic social network.”

 

“Oda-sensei… he also has the series with the older sister and boy… I love the ‘big sister’ characters he draws, so it’s a shame.”

“Wasn’t it common knowledge that X (formerly Twitter) was very lenient and that we shouldn’t expect much from foreign social networks?”

“Oh! It was supposed to be a refuge from Twitter…”

“They’re saying it’s strict, but do they really delete accounts?”

“After all, it’s developed by the former Twitter team. For character artists, I think more lenient places like X or Misskey are better.”

“When Blue Sky first opened for registration without an invite, there were reports on Twitter that even bikini images led to bans. Recently, they seem a bit more lenient.”

“It looks like Blue Sky has expression restrictions…”

“In the end, Twitter is still rather welcoming.”
