Blocklists are Bluesky’s absolute worst feature, by far, with the blocking mechanism in general coming in second.

The blocking mechanism on bluesky is insane. You can and will get cut off from huge swaths of the network for not blending in with the far left.

Not to mention that when blocked, you lose all access to all posts you’ve made interacting with the blocker, to the point that you can no longer even see or delete them.

wow that I didn't know

Blocking someone in a thread makes the conversation unreadable for everyone else. It's the WORST feature that encourages habitually wrong people to block rational people as soon as possible, so nobody else can see them getting owned.

Sounds like a fun time. Glad I've never been 🙄😆

can you elaborate? is there anything like that on nostr?

No, nostr doesn’t have blocklists like Bluesky.

and can i see who is blocked by who?

It depends. People can save their blocklist publicly or privately. Some clients give both options, or only one of the two.

Yes. Everything is open and public on ATProto (the Bluesky protocol). Clearsky.app is a good tool to look that stuff up.
