   @_elena @cwebber that will definitely open up for abuse. Thanks for the heads up. 🙏

     A PSA for people active on #Bluesky: your block list is PUBLIC information.

     A website that tracks Bluesky stats – which I am not naming here on purpose – makes this job super easy: you can enter *any* username and see the accounts a user has blocked.

     (Yes I tested it with my account and was horrified)

     I'm alarmed by this because the information could be weaponized for abuse.

     Muting may be the safer choice then?
