@vkc @crazyeddie @niko OK, thank you for the clarification!
And yes, the fact that people are easily able to make tools is a potential issue
Now, whether it would be possible to do the same thing with fedi instances, that’s way above my coding grade.
@vkc @crazyeddie @niko To be clear, I think Mastodon and BlueSky both have massive problems that need to be fixed, but they both have some promise; I like BlueSkys approach to account portability and better anti-abuse controls and I like Mastodon/fedi approach to distribution.
hopefully, both of them will fix their problems. It would be great to have multiple alternatives talking to each other other.
@vkc @crazyeddie @niko A quick clarifying question; do you mean actual blocklists or simply who you have blocked? Because on BlueSky those are two different things
(For anyone who doesn’t know I’ll explain below)
If I make a block list on BS & start adding people to it, that’s easily accessible and trivially available
If I simply block someone, that information is NOT trivially available, much the same as fedi; you CAN find it but you have to know how.
Block lists are meant to be shared (IIRC)
