Something interesting just happened that brings some questions I know @standard-reader.app respects Bluesky's blocks, and I've just seen it happening not allowing me to open an article from a person that I just found out is blocking me (from a mod list, not a big deal, I don't mind) But...

Well, not this one. But this one is! How? Let’s take a closer look at Bluesky and the AT Protocol that underpins it. Note: I communicated with the Bluesky team prior to the publishing of this post. While the functionality described is not the intended use of the application, it is known behavior and does not constitue a vulnerability disclosure process. My main motivation for reaching out to them was because I like the folks and don’t want to make their lives harder.
A new paper examines blocking on Bluesky: "…blocking does not decrease the popularity and activity of the blocked users and has a limited effect on the social graph." There is a lot more nuance in here. h/t @index.internet.exchangepoint.tech.ap.brid.gy openaccess.city.ac.uk/id/eprint/36822/
City Research Online - Open or Blocked Skies? Community Moderation Practices in Bluesky
openaccess.city.ac.ukWhen Bluesky does open up and/or federates there will no doubt be an "eternal September"-equivalent rush of folks who won't know/won't care about the standards and practices. The good news is that blocking here is unusually powerful natively and the moderating toolset is increasingly robust.

The dunking thing is a human curse though. If this place grows to be anywhere near as big as its predecessor, I'm convinced we will see that here too. The limited audience plus that's its largely attracting Twitter refugees is what holds that at bay for now.
at:// links not opening in Firefox? Now they do ☄️ I made a tiny extension that redirects @atproto.com URIs to your preferred AppView — starting with @bsky.app @blackskyweb.xyz and @bluenotes.social 🩷 Works with posts, feeds, lists, starter packs and both @standard.site publication and documents 🔥

tangled.orgWhen @bsky.app pulls this kind of crap often, whilst also expecting the community to do the heavy-lifting in actually convincing people to try out the AT Protocol... it's really difficult to feel hopeful about the future of Bluesky and its constituents. I imagine many agree with this stance.
Rude1 Haunted Badness. ⁂
Bluesky’s statement deriding Threads users as “guinea pigs” is not representative of Blacksky Algorithms, the atproto ecosystem or the open social web more broadly. Communities form around communication networks. And communities should never be trolled for whatever tool helps them find each other.
I think Bluesky's relay or appview may just have temporarily lagged behind on getting posts from Blacksky users. So if you're hosted by Blacksky, but you're logged into bsky on mobile, it would look like your posts didn't go through If this is still impacting you, please email support@blacksky.app

Yeah as you replied suddenly everything came through the garbage ass BlueSky app
Last week, the Bluesky app shipped a content visibility declaration setting to let people opt out of having their posts appear in feeds like Discover. How your app might use that setting is all about intent and reach. bsky.network/blog/content-visibility-decla…
Using the Content Visibility Declaration
bsky.networkSo @safety.bsky.app has no problem with people repeatedly harassing and humiliating trans rape victims, but a blocklist that is helping trans people block people who participate in such behavior is against the rules. Got it. So much for "choose your own moderation."
