Who would've thought the most obnoxious posters from shitlib-left twitter (that even twitter left find unbearable) would make a social media that descends into a purity spiral??
Not to mention that when blocked, you lose all access to all posts you’ve made interacting with the blocker, to the point that you can no longer even see or delete them.
Blocking someone in a thread makes the conversation unreadable for everyone else. It's the WORST feature that encourages habitually wrong people to block rational people as soon as possible, so nobody else can see them getting owned.
Basically. And if you accidentally follow the wrong list you can only appeal through users who don’t have you blocked and they review your timeline for any keywords or evidence that you’re not a pure of heart democratic socialist or whatever they deem the only acceptable school of thought.
The steps leading up to acceptance (that Bluesky is a cunts only platform)?
1. Bargaining (Hey, I'm a nice guy, please, by all means audit my niceness, you will find that I am nice and not mean)
2. Doubt ( they hate me, maybe it's something I've done)
3. Anger (no, I've done nothing, they are just being cunts)
4. Acceptance
