- jajuuka 1y agoYeah he's always been block happy for ANY amount of criticism. Really seems like this guy is more interested in looking like a good person for making this app.

- Zak 1y agoAs an individual, blocking people who tax your mental health is healthy. As an app developer, blocking people who try to report security issues is problematic.

- jajuuka 1y agoThere is a difference between blocking people who are disruptive, annoying, etc. And then blocking anyone who doesn't agree with you or levees any amount of criticism of your work. At some point surrounding yourself with only yes men will become unhealthy.
- tptacek 1y agoNo, there clearly isn't.
- strcat 1y agoGrapheneOS was not blocked by the developer / project as far as we know.
- dmix 1y agoSounds about right for a Bluesky user.
