Hey Erin Kissane (npub1sac…kcpe), read about bluesky and #replygating the first time (because of Julia Evans (npub1hyj…avly)s boost).
Is there also an option to block all accounts that the actual account couldn't reply to because of gating?
I'm asking, because the concept does only seem to make sense to me if the receiving end is also able to decide which kind of messages they want to receive and one criterion would be the ability to take part in discussion in the form of replying.
Another question that came to my mind is *why the sender not just blocks everybody except the people they'd like to read replies (and other messages) from*. What is the advantage of reply-gating over this?
