@powerllama @kissane Bluesky’s blocking features enable garbage behavior as well. People will post incorrect degrading stuff about you, then block you, removing your ability to respond. I don’t like other people having the power to delete my posts. It’s an incredibly toxic place: 6 comments
@kissane @marshray @powerllama I was about to reply along that line, I think the apocablock (love that term) has its points and issues. As Erin notes it’s more visible there because BS has more “virality” to it, which leads to a lot more “the avalanche has already started, It is too late for the pebbles to vote.” moments. Apocablock doesn’t “delete” your posts. It removes you from my “living room”. @Wraithe @kissane @powerllama This is an example of person re-posting me to their followers. Then, after a pile-on of insults against me, she blocks me. Whose “living room” is that?  |

@marshray @powerllama The Bsky apocablock is really double-edged, but blocking always removes your ability to respond to posts about you—even here, people talk shit from behind blocks and that’s sort of how it has to be for blocks to exist. (I wouldn’t dispute that there’s plenty of toxic behavior over there. There’s a lot here, too, but it’s often less visible.)
