That's not quite how it was described -- what's going to happen is that if you block account $fascist, then $fascist will not be able to interact with you -- you won't see their posts, but they will still be able to see yours.


chelsea bridge, tetrachromancer 🏳️⚧️ (@secretaboutbox.bsky.social):

that isn't a block, that's a mute.


Sean Eric Stragan (@kithrup.bsky.social):

Yes. But it still means they cannot interact with you.

It doesn't mean that you will see the blocked account's posts, which is what I was pointing out as wrong.


Sage 🏳️⚧️🇧🇷🏳️🌈 (@trans.bsky.social):

oh, so then the functionality is asymmetrical & a harasser can continue to stalk you. Very cool.


silly guy!!! (@nasso.dev):

blocking someone never truly prevented someone from seeing your posts, it just made it more annoying (you just need an alt)


chelsea bridge, tetrachromancer 🏳️⚧️ (@secretaboutbox.bsky.social):

people love to keep trotting this out like none of us knows what an alt is, but the reality is that friction matters

you can't stop determined attackers but a little friction drastically reduces problematic bullshit

chelsea bridge, tetrachromancer 🏳️⚧️ (@secretaboutbox.bsky.social):

the best testimonial i've seen so far for bluesky's cauterizing block behavior is the terf holocaust denier from today complaining about how it shuts him down


Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

Also, because "circumventing a technological access control to exceed authorised access" is both a flat TOS violation & arguably a felony, and escalations of harassment behaviour involve circumventing a block, T&S don't need to understand what the beef is, just that User A circumvented to harass B
