i make myself available in various places online 24/7 with basically the only stipulation being that i can block the unstable people my persona inevitably attracts

cannot imagine using FC to replace Twitter without blocks, especially as DAUs flood in

it’s disheartening to see them keep conflating mutes with blocks

Are blocks possible with an open network like this?

perhaps it is against the ethos but it is 100% possible for them to implement a feature that allowed me to restrict someone’s ability to respond to my posts

This is pretty much exactly the path that Bluesky went down. 

The Farcaster team can learn a lot from what did / didn’t work with Bluesky’s ATProtocol.

And they’re going to need it, quickly, if they keep US phone number registration free/open.

i would highly recommend that bluesky not be used as an example, feature decisions should not be driven by a rabid mob

I know what you mean but I also know the team very well and it was not driven by a mob. 

How it’s been implemented in client / protocol is pretty good. Works in 3rd party clients. We’ll see how that holds up when federation is on.
