i have such a deep love for arguing with bigots, how could i ever have the common sense and self-preservation to block someone? 😂 not like they’d listen, i suppose

Does bsky moderation do anything about it? I'm not sure where the reportable threshold is here.

They do ban a lot of people for violations of the TOS. Please do report when someone does something reportable.

Wise choice. If they ruin your day, they feel like they've won.

Also please note there appears to be a new wave of reply guy bots that post dozens or even hundreds of "polite" but derailing comments. Report as inauthentic and block, please.

@gregpak.net Please remind people to also enable the setting that obscures their records from unauthenticated users!

It helps prevent a fair amount of further abuse from bad actors using tools like Clearsky and others.

One day when we all use our own legal domains for our handles we can simply block everyone who (and everything that) doesn't.

How do we find the block starter packs that are updated? I read we have to keep going there to update?

I know it's confusing, but starter packs and moderation lists are two different things. So starter packs are used to follow people, and those you have to go back to click on again to follow anyone the creator has added since you last used it. But...
