I sorta hate this request as it seems invasive but I was thinking about folks in the future and even myself now and I was thinking I would love to see what folks that I have subscribed to have blocked. I don’t subscribe to a person unless Im really impressed by what they post or their discourse so its like a trusted list of users for me. That made me think I would love to see how they have blocked so I could look at it and see if it looks like an obvious person or place I would want to block.

    I don’t really have a dog in this fight but with the way fedi works right now, a lot of us are using the blocklist to filter out content on all, to increase positive hits and reduce spammy stuff/content we don’t want to see until our subscribed communities take off.

    I’m not sure public blocklists would be as useful as you think, at least until fedi takes off a bit more or gets new algorithms for sorting/suggesting. Particularly because it would, indeed, be highly invasive.

      Yeah I hate the invasive part but I have blocked a few folks who you look at their feed and its like yeah I don’t want to be hearing from them and it occured to me folks I like might have encountered some I have not and I could evaluate the feeds and block as necessary.
