My comments are littered with folks asking "why is it a problem if your blocklist is public on Bluesky?"

I'm glad you asked.

"Who you block" is a reasonable indicator of your personal alignments. If you block TERFs, you're likely trans-friendly, if not trans yourself. If you block white supremacists, you're likely in support of multiculturalism.

If you block government entities, well, you know how this goes.

Do I trust Bluesky to handle that information with care? Hell no.

I think users should be prompted when blocking someone a "hey wana send the block to the other server" and even a "wana send the block to all your followers to make this block public?" (this one would bee a stopgap solution to reply control but… why do a stopgap solution when GTS has started with proper reply control?)
