This is the exact language for anyone wanting more detail.

List changes to restrict abuse Lists are a powerful way to have more control over your experience on Bluesky. You're able to curate your favorite users, or to filter individuals out from your Bluesky experience — and to share those lists with others, so they can benefit from your curation as well. However, sometimes bad actors use lists to harass others and violate our rules, so we're making some changes. We have recently updated starter packs to remove members when blocked, and are doing the same for curated lists. Prior to this, the Bluesky Trust & Safety team has only been able to take down entire lists as a moderation action, instead of removing specific individuals. For moderation lists, this would mean that we'd unintentionally erase blocks. Now, when you block the creator of a list that you are on, you will get removed from the list. This behavior doesn't apply to moderation lists since that would defeat their purpose.
We will also be starting a widespread effort to identify lists with toxic and abusive names or descriptions. Lists with names or descriptions that violate the Bluesky Community Guidelines will be hidden in the app until or unless their creator modifies them to comply with our rules. We will also take further action against users that repeatedly create abusive lists. Lists continue to be an area of active discussion and development for our team to find the right balance for user safety.

Muting this cause everyone has different opinions about it, which it totally fine and I respect that we all use this platform differently! But a lot of folks are talking to me like I somehow implemented this myself and have some kind of control over it, which...don't shoot the messenger!

I think this will just encourage more abusive actors to make labeler accounts.
