As a startup founder, your userbase is your god. Either treat them with utmost respect, or learn to explicitly fire your customers.

What they should also do is redesign (or remove) the "nuclear block" feature. In its current state, it helps perpetuate a hostile and exclusionary atmosphere to new users, which isn't going to help Bluesky grow an active and diverse userbase.
