This is what Elon's change to blocking will enable, people can quote your posts more easily as they're not blocked. Then you can't unquote it, and their followers have a nice convenient link to click on to abuse you
Bluesky already more advanced than "X"

We recently published a blog post on new anti-toxicity features on Bluesky, like detaching quote posts:

So much better than Twitter, who killed @TheBlockBot and all shared blocking services ages ago. It's built into the app that you can share and subscribe to blocklists!
Not that I've had to block anyone on there yet, or even mute...
xitter.cf/bluesky/status/1846626…
At Bluesky, we take online safety seriously.
If you want to block someone, you can! It's your experience to customize.
In addition, you can also:
+ subscribe to block lists maintained by users you trust
+ detach quote posts
+ more

Elon has suspended my account calling for #BlockTheBlue after Matt reported on it. He's scared! @BlockTheBlue gone, but strike us down and we'll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine ;) #BlueHarvest #StreisandEffect xitter.cf/MattBinder/status/1649…

So it looks like @TransphobeB is no more, barring a miracle. I'll keep adding to the list if I can in the hope API access might be eventually restored. Good luck to all!

It was inevitable that the billionaire man child would eventually turn off our API access. It's been fun and this app has helped stop a lot of abuse. @TheBlockBot was the first shared block list app on Twitter created by me @oolon in 2013, just over 10 years ago!

I'm back! Looks like @TwitterSafety finally got a human to check out the tweet that "Gender Critical" people maliciously reported. One of quotes from them!
This is how GCs operate - silencing any opposition with malicious organised reports.
xitter.cf/TheBlockBot/status/152…
Ha, @oolon here, looks like the "gender critical" mass reported one of my tweets. One referring to the horrific things they've said - appealed but @TwitterSafety are usually glacially slow

On #IDAHOBIT2022 trans-allies are being sanctioned by @TwitterSafety for POINTING OUT THE VERY HOMOPHOBIA & TRANSPHOBIA @TWITTER IS MEANT TO BE DELETING!!!
All because transphobes are ‘gaming’ the reporting mechanisms & mass-reporting to try and silence trans allies! 😣
Haha, well done @TwitterSafety - we can't quote what "Gender Critical" people say without being censured. But they can use the app to abuse with little done to stop them.

One person keen, but not to run it alone... Anyone else fancy help curate the old @terfblocker list to provide a blocking service with them? Plz RT as blocking terfs is obviously a useful service given their pile-ons recently! Don't want terfblocker to die
xitter.cf/TheBlockBot/status/141…
The @terfblocker list is now here, if anyone wants to help run it let @oolon know. A group would be ideal, and all the members need to be verified by someone who knows them IRL, or at the minimum have a very long history to stop troll infiltration ... theblockbot.com/show-blocks/…

So @terfblocker is giving up on the platform, @TwitterSafety let transphobes abuse. But then suspend a useful service over a tweet to a friend. If anyone else wants to start a terf blocking list they're happy for their list to be used as a start
xitter.cf/oolon/status/141214252…
Message from @terfblocker, suspended for a tweet that was to a friend, was making an obvious joke. @TwitterSafety suspend based on the idea it's attacking a protected group? When they let Terfs run wild on here with no consequences!

Hey @TwitterSafety, you suspended a useful resource for trans people and allies in @terfblocker. Apparently for saying X about "Terfs", and you've suspended them for "Hateful conduct" - "Terf" isn't a protected category fgs! #freeterfblocker - plz RT to get it back.

Since blocktogether and Twitter's block importer are dead, and there is a growing #NFTblocklist of predatory art profit theft accounts, I made…

Alright, we set up a proper appeal system. Appeal blocks at @ExclusMailbox. We won't block you for saying REG shit there, but spam our DMs and we will block you without hesitation.
