Banned? DM Wmill to appeal.
No anti-nautilism posts. See: Eco-fascism Primer
Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
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?
afaik your replies and any top-level posts you make won't appear on their feed at all.
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.
