People are getting stalked and indiscriminately reported, then shadow banned and suspended over old posts and also for no reason at all. This feature is causing undue chaos and it should be removed.

Though many people have made great efforts with creating and sharing moderation lists to help everyone fight back against all of the bots, the application has continued to fail in practice, largely because of how it can be abused with little to no oversight. Moderation must be centralized and publicized, so that it can be transparent and accountable.

Someone hacked my account, added everyone they could to a block list, then deleted their profile. I'm still having to deal with the fallout here. It's WAY too easy to simply toss someone you don't like onto one of these lists, excommunication them from BlueSky forever!

Tired of being added to block lists just for being a sex worker! Especially one that doesn't idolize Sweet Bee, the biggest abuser of moderation lists.

Block lists are being abused. While the intent is good, if they aren't closely monitored and moderated by Bsky they are used to do harm to vulnerable communities.

I have been added to multiple blocklists by a large creator, simply for unfollowing a creator I wasn’t comfortable with.

There must be greater moderation by the sites owners, as Block lists can currently be abused in worrying ways which could effect people's income if they use the platform for work. A more robust site admin is needed for the benefit of all users, especially in with how Twitter and Meta are now literally allowing minorities to be persecuted, for BSky to not increase protections would be a major failing.

Agreed. We are being targeted by harassment accounts who are spreading lies and trying to either manipulate the platform, unfairly compete with others, or both. They've even admitted to doing so and threatened that they can and will keep doing it because BlueSky simply allows them to do it.

Anyone can make a moderation list, which may be biased, inaccurate and overall damaging to peoples image.
