..here is huge. I checked for myself and found 25 lists, one at least who i've already reported to Bsky Moderators (without response) for making memes specifially to attack me. This is defintly not what i expected here. Sure spirited discussion but not organized campaingns against other users.

anti-semites, bigots, bots and other kinds of name-calling i left Musk's X over. The issue i see is that, beside potentially libelous, is that it encourages users to openly discriminate against a group of users and cause other who've never encountered them to join the block or essentially boycott.

I just discovered today that Bluesky Lists can also be used to create lists whose purpose is to organize blocking of accounts for various reasons. Now like most folks here, i know you can block, and i have blocked some people, best as i can figures 66 accounts (not ...

What's clear now is that some people use Bluesky's Starter Pack function to create lists of people who, for various reasons, are to be blocked. Presumably for opinions/comments they don't like. I suppose that's fair but it does seem like a perversion of what Bluesky is about.
