Bluesky block behavior breaks threads in the client
From 2 comments
Agreed and there's also the problem that on Bluesky, one user blocking another means that the thread of conversation gets broken for everyone else who may read it. See e.g.…

Why nested thread view shows no context when opened on Bluesky
From 1 comment
I think I'm missing something; I tried to find a deeply nested thread[1] in order to see how that would work, but when clicking on the "view on bluesky"[2] it did take me to the…
