Quite amazing how completely techbros can fuck up without really trying.
Take BlueSky's new labelling system, released late last month. It allows users to create labels for accounts and individual posts.
So you can warn your pals/subscribers about, for example, transphobic accounts or content.
Sounds good, right?
There's two little catches.
Anyone with a few tech skills can set up a labeller. So the transphobes can target trans people, too. And if you feel you've been mislabelled, you have to subscribe to the labelling account to even report it.
But the real lulu is that you can't block a labeller from seeing - and labelling - your account or your posts. A block merely means YOU can't see them on BlueSky.
Way to go to open a whole new harassment vector, dipshits.
