Muting is fine, blocking is censorship.
You'll know it is decentralized when someone can run an instance and remove the blocking and censorship. (Never, I predict)
- ChicagoDave 2y agoThe users are doing the blocking, not Bluesky. We’re just slamming the door in the face of Nazis and fascists. It’s my individual right to avoid assholes. Not censorship.
- FreeTrade 2y agoThat's what your mute is for. 100% support that. Bluesky preventing users from replying to your posts on your say-so. Yup, there's a word for that.
- ChicagoDave 2y agoYeah, it’s called harassment.
- paulgb 2y agoYou already could have a client that treats a block as a mute. Easier to just open an incognito tab though. > In theory, a bad actor could create their own rogue client or interface which ignores some of the blocking behaviors, since the content is posted to a public network. But showing content or notifications to the person who created the block won’t be possible, as that behavior is controlled by their own PDS and client. https://docs.bsky.app/blog/block-implementation https://docs.bsky.app/blog/block-implementation
- ChicagoDave 2y agoI’d argue this one feature is the core reason Bluesky has 30 million users.
- FreeTrade 2y agoThere is no doubt censorship is popular. It's not for me though.
- FreeTrade 2y agoFrom that document - >creation of reply posts, quote posts, embeds, and mentions are blocked; This is the unmitigable censorship that can't be removed without decentralization.
