don't put all your eggs in #bluesky. it is still a developing story. recent bluesky news: #ads and #subscription service being developed and planned incorporated into the service. if you enjoy ads and paying for whatever, hey all power to you.
Not sure how mastodon block works, as I am on a friendica node, a member of the fediverse via Activitypub protocol.
Is there a block and mute/suspend function? if so, you may need to active both to be effective.
In my node, #libranet.de, I activate "block" to block all toots from Tooter, but I also activate "mute" to hide current toot in my timeline. #Friendica (a #facebook replacement) has powerful feature set over and above #mastodon (a #twitter replacement).
If you're familiar with facebook profiles, groups, #circles, #channels, friendica is the #opensource, #decentralised #fediverse version of it.
