      Wow, that’s good to know. Did you know the blocking feature in Activity Pub also ended up there because of queer and feminist people?

      Also reminds me of Party Block, a discontinued Twitter blocking app developed by a feminist tech-startup. And Shinigami Eyes of course. The blocking system of BlueSky seems to have best of both worlds. This is exciting!
