most of the discussion right now is about SHARED blocklists not individual choice to block whomever you want (which no one is criticizing) so right posts about your right to block whomever you want are probably just irrelevant noise even if they aren't intentionally deceptive
Discussion
having shared mutelists we should have tools to audit them, like for example change view to show evidence of things being muted and be able to reveal muted notes easily
I have argued they are bad in general but a high quality list isn't the worst thing in the world (you won't get a high quality list though)
