That account is following part of the rules that are being enforced.

Bluesky stated, "Parody, satire, or fan accounts are allowed on Bluesky, but they must clearly label themselves in both the display name and bio to help others know the account isn't official."

They don't appear to be labeling in both the display name and bio, just the bio, so aren't they breaking the rule?

Yes, it is breaking the part about not having the name be clearly labeled but my guess is that they are going to let the ones with a clear bio explanation be last on the list to crack down on. Nitpicking whether the account is clearly labeled is extremely vague and they are going to have fun trying to sort out what that actually means.

What do they expect a parody account name to look like?

Ah, I didn't gather that you were implying that they were doing a partial enforcement so I was confused.

That notice must've been brand new because it wasn't there when I looked haha
