People are adding people to "block lists" for the most ridiculous of reasons.
Just a few examples are: publishing starter packs, listing any hashtags in your bio, reposting memes, following too many people, etc.
I'm getting sick of it. 🤮

So, I guess I will follow suit and remove them.
On Twitter it was painful and you could not follow people unless you cleaned up non-followers, but on here it hasn't been an issue...until now.
Now, I think I've clicked too many starter packs!
Most just go along for the follow and post very little specially the volume users that came over from X don’t want to mention their names, but they know who they are because they don’t follow me
I was added too, but it was not a list but a label. (???)
Has a button where you can "appeal," so I have, but it is very odd.
On Twitter/X I had to cut followers free so that I could follow more. Here' I just happily follow like-minded people w/o worry.
I do "Follow-All" a lot, but is that now a penalty, or BlueSky growing pains???

Assumes many haven't learned the lessons of twitter & fail at thorough vetting before engagement.
Happened to me on FB and truly stuffed up my site.
More info about the feature at the Bluesky blog.
Hashtag Art is now totally colonized by Animi creatives, absolutely not relevant to me and they won't go off my timeline unless I keep blocking when I see them.
It bothered me for a few days but then I remembered it's not what others think about me it's how I feel about me.
I think it might be a honeypot used to trick people that dislike MAGA into blocking other anti-MAGA people?
They are still free to post here but I wont see them.
He didn't know it was wrong to say that Caitlyn used to be called Bruce.
I acknowledged the evils of dead-naming, but objected /1
So the list admin kept trying to condescendingly lecture me, "I'm prepared to take you off the list but you have to avoid saying ..."
I kept saying, "I'll do whatever I think is right. You do what you want." & she kept /2
She persisted until I blocked her.
Power mad idiots make block lists.
Helpful, kind people do it, too, but since there's no way to tell the difference, I don't risk it. 3/3
Troublemakers?
Someone liked a bunch of things I did, added me to a list, then immediately blocked me.
??
Most of these moderation profiles are only blocking accounts that are left leaning, anti-Trump, etc. It's ridiculous.
For the record, I'm still #TeamPete. Anyone who would block me for that is someone I don't care to associate with anyway.

What difference does it make to your life?
I like your stuff, but many may find it insignificant.
There are people who create false profiles and join starterpacks just to add followers to block lists. Same for using hashtags.
It's simply to ruin community growth, networking and spreading awareness through these dire times.

You run an amazing account. It is one of the first I check every day ☺️
It’s knuckle-dragging mob mentality.
💙 bio lol 😂 yeah it’s stupid all right. I have learned to detect scammers. I have reported & blocked suspicious accounts. #TaxTheRich oh no another hashtag ‼️

I’ve blocked a few people but only because I had a troll issue on the Bird so now I’m more suspicious of everyone. The downside of the social media.
I am relatively new to BlueSky so I know I have blocked folks not knowing how it impacts them. I only block explicit content and the MAGA anger.
It's tedious, but worth it.💙💪🏻🌊👋🏻
