Reminder - Blocks on Bluesky work that if someone comes into a thread and calls me dumb and then attacks another person and I block that person.
You all then see that person in that thread not by name but by blocked - even if you don't have them blocked.
It helps remove the impact of the toxicity.

If you block a follower, they still add to your follower count. Likewise if you unblock them they return to be your follower. So no soft blocks like in the other site
I think this system is better overall, based on the assumption that there is likely more people without nefarious agendas than with. Though the world is doing its best to prove me wrong.
