Leftists are eventually going to pay the price again for choosing the capitalist-owned platform over the community-owned one (the difference being there was no community-owned one last time). But given the *significantly* better tools for self-protection, I can’t blame them

Followers-only posts on Mastodon are nice, but ultimately, controlling who gets to reply to your post and getting to choose to hide annoying replies are significantly better.
On Mastodon (see last boost), you can’t even stop someone’s reply appearing under your toot by blocking them! And there’s been a patch for that problem ready to go for three years – which has just been ignored

Okay, here’s a *major* privacy/safety fuckup of Bluesky which I only just found out about today:
Your block list is public. Although there’s no way to see it on the Bluesky website, through ATProto, everyone can see who you’ve blocked and when.
Also, although the Bluesky app also has no way in the UI to see someone else’s liked posts, you can also find that trivially through ATProto.
So things which look private are in fact very public. WTF!

I guarantee that when the fash finally move onto Bluesky, they’ll use leftists’ public block lists to build their networks
