There's so much text here I don't know how to alt text it but it's a list of 17 bluesky block lists I'm on because I'm a evil cryptofash tankie authoritarian trump supporting jill stein voting blah blah blah and it looks like I got on an anti-ukraine list somehow?

what's funny is this is just another Twitter thing that Bluesky just copied. I've been on a list on Twitter called 'Mattress Tweets' for like a decade now and I've seen people on Twitter do things like put you on a list they've created called 'Big Idiots' or something along those lines. Bluesky users have just, for whatever reason, decided this is also worth doing lmao

    On bluesky what do these lists exactly do? Like are they meant as a way to view a curated timeline and people have found a way to use them as blocklists? Or is it explicitly meant to be a blocklist?

    Nope. They work the same way they do on twitter - they're meant to be lists of accounts you DO want to see tweets of. People have just curated them as blocklists, which the Bluesky API allows.
