@dansup @pixelfed Are you addressing the notorious false positive problem that made block lists hated in many circles on Twitter? The case where anyone can slip any personal enemy into the list for random reasons, and end up cutting them off from thousands of their mutuals and never even alerting the victim to it? They just disappeared from their friends and associates with no awareness or recourse. It was very toxic.
@shoq @dansup @pixelfed Can you describe the dynamic more? Or is there an article describing it? From the generic description of a blocklist it doesn't seem obviously inherent to the concept. For example, people who are already mutuals shouldn't be muted from each other. Also, it seems important that a given blocklist should be clearly curated by a single accountable person. Edit: reread OP - the group editability does seem potentially problematic.
