@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 @kissane @powerllama In this case it would be hers.
She retweeted a post of yours, you replied, she blocked. Conversation ends.

Your post isn’t deleted, it just breaks the thread. I’m looking at it right now using a tool.

There’s a good thread here explaining the motivations behind the apocablock: bsky.app/profile/legalminimum.

TL/DR: it’s to prevent “brigading” (a tactic used heavily by the alt-right on Twitter for anyone who doesn’t know)

@Wraithe Sure, I’ve heard that justification before.

Here the “brigading” by toxic jackholes with dumb insults was solicited by the same person who employed blocking to prevent reply.
