There's so much text here I don't know how to alt text it but it's a list of 17 bluesky block lists I'm on because I'm a evil cryptofash tankie authoritarian trump supporting jill stein voting blah blah blah and it looks like I got on an anti-ukraine list somehow?

On bluesky what do these lists exactly do? Like are they meant as a way to view a curated timeline and people have found a way to use them as blocklists? Or is it explicitly meant to be a blocklist?

afaik your replies and any top-level posts you make won't appear on their feed at all.

Nope. They work the same way they do on twitter - they're meant to be lists of accounts you DO want to see tweets of. People have just curated them as blocklists, which the Bluesky API allows.

for anyone not wanting to click that link, but wants technical details:

The list object has a purpose property, which can be curatelist (curation, feed) or modlist (mute/block).
