It's so much easier to build this into the app (which is what you're saying) rather than try to solve this at the proto level, I'm honestly surprised they even tried to include it into the protocol.
Then again, I shouldn't be surprised. There's a really large trans community active on Bluesky right now, and they've been extremely vocal about what's important to them, with blocking being the thing demanded the loudest (butts being #2).
The dev team blew up their schedule to deliver blocking because of this.
- KerrAvon 3y agoI’m not sure any of that is accurate. According to The Verge, they added blocking earlier than they wanted to because Matt Yglesias was getting brigaded for his anti-trans views.
- Zetice 3y agoI’m on Bluesky, it’s what I’ve seen. Lots of folks from the trans communities there advocated strongly for the protection of blocking, saying muting didn’t go far enough (I disagreed but nobody cared).
