Oddbean new post about login | logout So Twitter is seeing a bunch of folks leave and join Bluesky because Twitter is changing the way its blocks work to be like Bluesky? https://docs.bsky.app/blog/block-implementation
It’s all getting rather silly.
Twitter doesn’t welcome anyone anymore, feels like they spend more time trying to lock you out than anything else. I do miss it. But I feel my data is better suited for Nostr-only. As I was banned for talking about bitcoin on Mastodon. Privacy practitioner’s tend to report you when you don’t follow security practices honored by their institutions. Especially technology already captured by the state
Bluesky doesn’t show your posts to any accounts you’ve blocked, at least on the main client. It’s so open that, yes, for now the blocks are public but they’re working on private states, so that things like private accounts & posts can exist. I’m guessing they’ll migrate your blocks list to that whenever it comes, but it won’t be too soon. And you can enable a feature which hides your posts from anyone not logged into the official Bluesky clients. Obviously because all the data is public anyone can fetch it from the API and look at, well, anything really..
