That's true, but the result is a boring platform where everyone agrees on everything, and even the most minor disagreement will get you blocked.

This post by a user who discovered that he instantly got 30000 blockers simply by joining and following some starter packs of journalists IS HILARIOUS: https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueskySocial/comments/1mgz19y/why_...

It's important to distinguish between the blocklists and the general blocking functionality of Bluesky.

The blocklists, as an experiment, are too easily gamed or abused. (I never use them.) List maintainers have added people they have personal beef with, and bad actors have started deceptive lists that change after enough people follow.

But the general block/mute functionality on Bsky is way better than most social media, and goes a long way to avoiding abusive or unpleasant people.
