       @pachli Not a fan of this approach. Basically weaponizing a useful feature.

       @mike Not sure why you'd consider it "weaponizing".This doesn't change the consent model for collections -- accounts still have to consent to be part of a collection, and can remove themselves at any time.For some people a collection of accounts called "Food bloggers" is people they're going to want to follow. For others -- for whatever reasons -- it will be content they definitely don't to see.

       @pachli OK I don't want to necessarily see food bloggers but to have a mass block list? How long will people want to be part of any collection if they start getting blocked en masse because someone started using collections as a blocking tool? I don't see much upside into turning collections into block lists and a lot of potential downside.

       @mike @pachli IMO, this is a client side choice; don't dictate how people consume the fediverse. I fail to see how lobbying against client side featureset in the fediverse model has any upside at all.

       @scott @mike @pachli people have been using blocklists on fedi for a significant amount of time and it's been demonstrated to be a pretty bad idea. every time it's ended up some barely auditable mess where people managing the blocklist have some level of institutional power, marginalized people get readily thrown under the bus and shitlisted if they are too inconvenient for the manager, and collaborators of the blocklist put far too much faith in the system. TBS was a very strong example of this where it positioned itself as some kind of making the fediverse safer operation but was mostly just used to silence transfems
