> I have a feeling that this is going to create a weird thing of some magnitude where accounts end up on popular blacklists for poor reasons and have no recourse.

This actually has already kind of occurred with moderation lists and the solution has generally been to strike down list managers who abuse their authority and block them (as you can't normally add someone who has blocked you to their lists).

That seems really abuseable.


It's standard practice for impersonators on tiktok to block the person they're impersonating for this exact reason. You can unblock to interact with a third party and then immediately reblock, etc. The victim can't even report the impersonator without a third party DM'ing them a link to the profile.


So, blocklists maintained to block blocklist maintainers? Resulting in blocklists to block blocklist maintainers maintaining maintainer blocklists?
