Bluesky Launched an AI Feature and Users Made It the Third Most Blocked Account

Attie did not fail because it was technically broken. It failed because the community it was introduced to had already decided what AI integration on a social platform means — and Bluesky's launch confirmed that decision rather than complicating it. The 125,000 blocks within days of launch are not a petition or a complaint thread. Blocks are a structural action: they remove an account from your experience permanently. The users who blocked Attie were not waiting to see what the feature would do. They had already made their assessment.
