Blocking isn't censorship, it's praxis.
People who argue anyone should be allowed to talk at you however they wish, in your home, are people who aren't allowed in my home.
Blockity block.

Mt mental health and my time aren't public goods. If I don't want to hear, see, or talk to someone, I won't.
The rest of us just aren’t asking them to the party.
Being an uninvited jerk may make them sad, but it’s not the same as being imprisoned, fined, or fired.

In the top corner, click the button that says "subscribe".
You now have a menu which asks if you want to mute or block the list.
If you mute, you'll still be able to go to any of those users' sites (I use this approach if I'm unsure about the blocklist quality). Block is absolute.
This specific list has been vetted by multiple people within Bluesky's trans community and has been highly accurate to date.
You'll see your reply, repost and like counts go up when they interact with your posts (and you can click to read their posts) but they don't show up in your mentions.
If it's just someone who's annoying you, then it's likely fine. You're relieved of having to see them, and they're posting their "look at me, hey hello" posts at you just like normal.
BUT if it's someone actively sending you hate, you might not see the threats
OR they could be attacking people in your mentions and you wouldn't see it to be able to stop it.
Whereas with a block, they can't even go there to start something.
(Now doubting if that was her. But I bet it's true either way, real goths embrace gender as a spectrum.)
Shout out to the vigilance of good faith list maintainers.
Usually, the only time I block/mute is when the unwanted messaging is constant and fills up my alerts.
Pagi!
Yes, they have free speech. I have freedom to listen or not.
Thanks guys!
Because of these time vampires.

If blocking was censorship, my block would stop third parties from seeing your stuff. It doesn't, so it isn't censorship.
I’ll block who I want to block.
Good work!
