I've had a negative impression of ICEBlock's developer since GrapheneOS debunked their privacy-related excuses for not creating an Android version: https://bsky.app/profile/grapheneos.org/post/3lt2prfb2vk2r

Yeah he's always been block happy for ANY amount of criticism. Really seems like this guy is more interested in looking like a good person for making this app.

I think this app is probably bad but blocking people is healthy and people who get het up about being blocked are the ones with the problem.

As an individual, blocking people who tax your mental health is healthy. As an app developer, blocking people who try to report security issues is problematic.

		Releasing an app doesn't make somebody somehow not an individual.

There is a difference between blocking people who are disruptive, annoying, etc. And then blocking anyone who doesn't agree with you or levees any amount of criticism of your work. At some point surrounding yourself with only yes men will become unhealthy.

		No, there clearly isn't.

Sounds about right for a Bluesky user.

These concerns are justified but it is ironic bringing up GrapheneOS which routinely blocks critics as well.
