Bsky needs to improve a few features with the block feature. I like it overall but the lists are abused by extremists and malevolent actors. We also need to be able to see whom WE block easily and undo it if we decide to.

Could be useful, it can be a pain to figure out if you blocked someone or they blocked you, or if the blocking was by someone else entirely, due to how the "nuclear block" breaks threads. There's 3rd party tools to solve all that, but I avoid them. I don't want to know which cool people hate me.

There's no perfect system, everything has compromises. I find that the "nuclear block" has benefits that outweigh the drawbacks, for me. I respect that other people want a different user experience than I do and may disagree with that.

Yes, the nuclear block is fine with me but we should be able to take ourselves off lists that are completely misrepresenting us just because someone lost an argument.
