On the topic of Bluesky stats, I just learned that blocks are effectively public via the API, so there's a hall of shame ranking the most blocked users on the site: https://vqv.app/blocks.html https://vqv.app/blocks.html

A lot of Brazilians there. I guess it makes sense that they are a large portion of the user-base after Twitter got banned.

  I wonder what the backstory to two different Brazilian Taylor Swift fan accounts getting onto the most blocked list is...

    Probably no fault of the feed, so not really a hall of shame. People you follow repost the feeds because they want to share with the world, and the posts end up in your timeline. You block them if you are not interested or if it is overwhelming, without having to unfollow anyone.

> a hall of shame Usually that's the opposite that happen with these kind of people. They are going to look forward on being the at the top of the leaderboard, like a child doing stupid things only to get noticed by its parents.

  Assuming blocks themselves are never childish. Jordan Peterson is on the list and he doesn't even use the site: https://bsky.app/profile/jordanbpeterson.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/jordanbpeterson.bsky.social

    Seems odd to be one of the most blocked with zero posts

    It's not even the real Jordan Peterson apparently.

    There was a script I once saw for Twitter where it blocked all users within some follower/followee radius of a set group of people. For public discourse, I wonder what the right level of agreeable "echo-chambering" is.

    It has an "Impersonation" tag: "Pretending to be someone else without permission." Dunno if that's accurate though. But let's be real: Jordan B. Peterson on Bluesky is not going to be a different Jordan B. Peterson than he is anywhere else. If you don't want to interact with Jordan B. Peterson on e.g. Twitter, then you probably don't want to interact with him on Bluesky either.

      To an extent, I agree. In particular, I will not seek out that guy. However, feels virtue signal like to block someone that isn't there. Might as well block "random jerk." What is the value of blocking people by name that may not exist?

        He likely just appears on a lot of imported Twitter blocklists.

i have a feeling by being on the list, it fuels more blocks, the rich get richer

Kind of shows the echo chamber. Looks like the Jordan Peterson account, which has never posted anything, is around number 14.
