Architecturally, can an individual user block a moderation service? (Perhaps transitively blocking anyone subscribing to that service?) Imagining a malicious labeler coming along and marking someone’s account as something hateful or offensive, or attempting to extract a reputation fee (“verified?”)

A more concrete example: Let’s say a far right labeler marks me “groomer” because I support trans rights. Can I block the labeler, and perhaps people who opted in to that labeler, so I don’t have its pejorative and false label applied?

You can report it and bluesky can block it from being indexed on their servers if it violates their rules. But otherwise you can't stop a label from being created. It will also only be visible to people opting in to that specific labeler, others won't see those labels on your account
