Update: Quick Login (OAuth) is working normally again. ✅ Earlier today, our connection to Bluesky’s login service was dropped, causing some logins to hang. We shipped a change so future issues fail quickly with a clear message instead of hanging App Password login remains available

Heads-up: Quick Login (OAuth) for bsky.social accounts is currently failing for some users, looks like our server's requests to @bsky.app login service are being dropped/throttled We're working on a fix. In the meantime, please use App Password login. Thanks for your patience. cc @support.bsky.team

Fixed issue reported by @tomalak.bsky.social 🫡 Some users using Bluesky app passwords could get logged out mid-blocking session if token refreshes failed or rotated unexpectedly We now retry temp failures automatically, keep sessions synced during long runs, and handle expired sessions cleanly

Probably an edge case. I'll keep you posted.

Seems like Eurosky has same/similar rate limits as Bluesky. After ~1000 blocks, the PDS appears to temporarily throttle requests, which can cause BlockSky to stop or throw an error until the limit clears. Not a BlockSky-specific issue, these limits are enforced by their respective platoforms.

You’re in luck! Once the URL is entered and validated, you’ll have granular control over all available options.

That seems to be a useful tool. Just be careful as blocking by replies and quotes might be a too sharp knive. I‘d prefer to block those who just liked a post.

Usage is growing, and so are the infrastructure costs. Contributions go directly toward scaling the backend, improving reliability, and keeping BlockSky free for everyone! ko-fi.com/blockskyapp/...

BlockSky v3.2.0 New Feature: Block Post Interactions Paste a Bluesky post → block everyone who liked, reposted, quoted, or replied. Sometimes the problem isn’t the post. It’s the crowd. Check it out here: blocksky.app/block-intera...

BlockSky v3.1.0 is live! This one is straight from user feedback. Block Following now has a confirmation step, clearer actions, and an option to block the account and their network together. Fewer “oh no” moments.

Incident report: Earlier this week, our automated moderation system incorrectly labeled ~32,000 accounts as requiring moderator review. Here’s what happened, what we fixed, and the current status. 1/5

Now that we have app/code stability, it's time to start working on some new features 💪 What should we ship first? 🤔

We shipped a new version of BlockSky today. Full rewrite, redesigned UI 🚀 blocksky.app

Cooking up some major improvements!

Thanks for that tidbit. I logged an issue I think is related back in Dec. I've added these additional details 👇 github.com/kevenages/bl... It's a 1 dev show and my new year has been extremely busy. Hoping to carve out some time next weekend to deal with most of the remaining issues in the queue.

🚀 Excited to announce the launch of Blocksky! Our new tool empowers you to mass-block users on Bluesky, giving you greater control over your online experience. Simply search for a user and choose to block them, their followers, and those they follow.

This sounds amazing. If twitter had had something like this, every single thing about it would have been better.

I'm hoping blocksky is the beginning of a suite of tools that help users protect their spaces and improve their online experiences on bluesky. There's still much work to be done, but I'd love to grab some early feedback now 👇
