I disagree. You're thinking of "Muting". Blocking is inappropriate for a public forum, and even less for a public "influencer". @jamellebouie.net
Bluesky should not get into this idea that blocking you is a problem. You can be blocked for any reason. You can be blocked because your pfp is annoying. You can be blocked because your vibe sucks. If you take this personally I think that’s also a reason you can be blocked.
