It was inevitable that the billionaire man child would eventually turn off our API access. It's been fun and this app has helped stop a lot of abuse. @TheBlockBot was the first shared block list app on Twitter created by me @oolon in 2013, just over 10 years ago!

This is what Elon's change to blocking will enable, people can quote your posts more easily as they're not blocked. Then you can't unquote it, and their followers have a nice convenient link to click on to abuse you Bluesky already more advanced than "X" x.com/bluesky/status…

We recently published a blog post on new anti-toxicity features on Bluesky, like detaching quote posts: bsky.social/about/blog/08-…

So much better than Twitter, who killed @TheBlockBot and all shared blocking services ages ago. It's built into the app that you can share and subscribe to blocklists! Not that I've had to block anyone on there yet, or even mute... x.com/bluesky/status…

At Bluesky, we take online safety seriously. If you want to block someone, you can! It's your experience to customize. In addition, you can also: + subscribe to block lists maintained by users you trust + detach quote posts + more bsky.app/download

Elon has suspended my account calling for #BlockTheBlue after Matt reported on it. He's scared! @BlockTheBlue gone, but strike us down and we'll become more powerful than you can possibly imagine ;) #BlueHarvest #StreisandEffect

So it looks like @TransphobeB is no more, barring a miracle. I'll keep adding to the list if I can in the hope API access might be eventually restored. Good luck to all!

Back up for now, not been cut off by Melon yet!

Blockbot down for maintenance! Actions table autoincrement id was an int, the table that holds all blocks etc, and the number of rows is over 4bn now... Hit the max allowed value! So re-creating the table w/bigint, will be down for 24hrs I'd guess. It's a 250Gb compressed table!



Eeek, this list has been so popular it's generated Gbs of database usage in just over a day ... Need to stop the service for a bit, make some space, then it will be back for sign-ups again...
