The blocking worked. Starve the trolls of attention. Keep our blocking culture strong.

it’s almost like he was going to bitch no matter what and the bsky team stepped on a bunch of rakes for no reason
and yet again, bluesky fails us while we're left to keep ourselves safe
Block and move on, no engaging the alt-whites.

Bwahahahahaha 💀🤡
No one wants to "pushback" your nonsense. There's no "debate" around basic human rights and dignity. Blocking is how we exercise our "freedom of association," which is also part of your cherished First Amendment shrieking.
Day 1: I’ve approached the gorillas.
Day 2: I’ve poked the silverback in the eyes.
Day 3: My arm has been ripped off and I don’t understand why.
When it updates, does it remove accounts that unfollow the target account?
I have another list like this that updates less frequently but does remove accounts that unfollows. Just curious if you knew, thanks!
Also we need composable modular blocking systems (e.g. block accounts that have a combination of labels A+B+C+... from my labelers)
I think it would be useful and nice to have that bit of extra flexibility
At present, it's difficult to even block people who block you first. Someone even did a block-unblock hit-and-run tactic on me until I caught him during the unblock long enough to block him myself.
one "singal's followers" blocklist included everyone who followed the person that made it because they had "fuck jesse singal" in their name lol
What a, dare I say, SNOWFLAKE.
1 Block = 1 Nazi Punch

I'm just a little guy and I was bullied
Nurse Ratched is sad. 🥲
Asshole.
Would have been nice if T&S had actually done something about it before he chased a bunch of good people off the platform.
Bluesky is not a "rumor-sewer", but we do have one - it is the sewer where we flush the pieces of shit who try to stink up the joint with their rumours and other bad faith actions.
If Jesse doesn't like it here, he can do one. He only came here to cause shit.
Poor lil buckaroo!
goes fkn hard
I want to start a social media platform that classifies MAGA as a hate group.
I don't think I've been blocked for my political opinions. Unless thinking Keith Urban fans are subhuman, I don't know if that's political. Politics is hard.
And he is still on Bluesky?
His account is currently not suspended, just empty because he deleted his entire feed
We've been here before.
Typically though, when Bluesky speaks in unison against such a bad actor our reports work.
We used the tools provided to us to protect ourselves from people like him, Bluesky agreed and went back on their own terms.
When Bluesky itself acts to "protect" users its often disappointing, like what they do with Palestinians.
I'm not surprised, but I am further disappointed in this place.
Also, it's a riot to watch these people whine and complain about echo-chambers and monocultures. How do their heads not explode from their own total lack of self-awareness?
A very effective rumor-cesspool.

And the noise cancelling is working.
"Why does no one want to sit next to me??"
Banning = Your hate doesn't belong in polite society & you will not have a platform for it here.
In the best case scenario, they rely on the unpaid labour of marginalized folks, but we've already seen so many abuses of these moderation tools targeting those same people.
We've lost so many people who were foundational to Bluesky's early success because of @aaron.bsky.team's refusal to act.
This is yet more ground ceded to antisocial bigots over people who foster community on Bluesky.
plus like you said its a fuckin' hell hole
Presumably because he name-searches and/or reciprocally blocks. (I found out when I tried to unblock him to report Yet More Harassment)
Sigh.
The account @/jessesingal.com still exist (just remove the /) on BSKY. It wouldn't if he nuked his account.
