I added follower/following after people asked for it, but originally the point was to protect yourself from transphobia based on retweets. As in, if someone is willing to retweet an explicitly transphobic post, they're probably transphobic, and it's quicker to block all of those people at once.
Some people are extremely aggressive. I've seen people block everyone who follows @bsky.app! But nobody subscribes to a useless list like that. So don't worry if you're on a few lists called "blockenheimer". Probably at most one user actually uses that list — the person who made it, and no one else.
You can check my profile, I haven't made a list. Every person makes *their own* blockenheimer list, and you choose what to put in your own list. If you find a post that tells people to harass you, you can choose that post and add everyone who liked it to *your* own list. That's the point.
no that's not how it works at all. it never has and never will do that. please do not spread misinformation.
We don't manage any lists ourselves, any lists called "Blockenheimer" are managed by one of our users, and we have no influence over the contents of these lists. (well, i do use my own app myself, but it's on my personal account and i don't recommend anyone other than me subscribe to it)
We don't (can't!) collect any data, the app touches Bluesky servers directly. Our app is open source: codeberg.org/xormetric/bb... so you can build and host it yourself, and the bundle (code ran on your browser) isn't minified, you can just read it all straight from the browser's developer tools.
