Do you use BlueSky? If not, you should. If you do you may have noticed that one of the biggest problems there has become the unmonitored and unpoliced use of Moderation Lists. They call them that, but what they really are... Block Lists. These are lists of people anyone can make and if you subscribe to the list you automaticially block anyone that is added to the list.
This started out as a useful tool, but more and more often people are using these lists to create havoc and disruption. They can lie about why someone is on the list. There is no recourse for the person added to the list. There is no way to force corrections to malicious lists to be made. We started a petition to try and convince BlueSky to do away with these lists, or at least modify them and add controls and rules that protect people from people who just want to disrupt the community.
If you have a minute, please take a look and if you can, sign and share this petition. It would mean a lot. Thanks!
