Has bluesky implemented a soft block or a remove follower feature yet? Is one on the horizon? As the influx of new users continues it really needs this feature. Permanently blocking should not be the only way to remove a follower (esp. how blocking works on this site to break conversation threads).

Love this idea! Remove a follower would be nicer than having to block.

Yes, we need a soft block. I am being followed by several weird cat b.ots.

We need to be able to lock our accounts and limit who can see them.

I thought I saw someone say this week that it was implemented i a recent release? Don’t have a citation on hand, sorry.

They're working on it, but it's a hard problem bsky.app/profile/pfra...

I think there is a soft block available, but it’s not instant. At least a few minutes, if not a day. I’ve had a bunch of impersonator accounts following me and I block them when I see them. When I go back into my block file and briefly unblock them, they’re no longer following me. But ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Blocking doesn't remove them either! There is no way to remove a follower.

I really, really want this so much.
