Why blocking here works so well (if someone replies to your own thread with something horrible): it doesn’t just hide bad actors from you, but ultimately turns this place into a wasteland for them. bsky.app/profile/monk...
Blimey, it blocks the whole thread so we don’t get “this account has been hidden” nonsense thereby making you click on it
Just a thought. . . A well regimented group who organise themselves somewhere else could engage in a coordinated exercise to block people for nefarious motives. Or am I just conspiracising?Just a thought. . . A well regimented group who organise themselves somewhere else could engage in a coordinated exercise to block people for nefarious motives.

Very good to know, thanks.
This is one of the big advantages Bluesky has over the Fediverse. Do you happen to have any good List recommendations for blocking TERFs & other stupid cults? Aegis & Taurus Shield used to have some good lists, but they’re gone now (for better or for worse).This is one of the big advantages Bluesky has over the Fediverse.

New on here so blocked him to see how easy it is… and it is!
You don't think maybe this might cut both ways - that it might not always be an opinion with which you disagree that gets blocked? I can imagine scenarios where not being able to delete or reply to *your own posts* might be problematic.
the person in that screenshot hasn’t posted in like six months 😊
