A blocklist is more like a subscription and doesn't actually create an ATProto block event in your PDS or on the firehose. The end behavior should be near-identical to a direct block though.

Sorry, my PT ability usually means I either use a translator and sound stilted or do it off the cuff and sound barely literate 😅

O que disseram estava correto. Isto não é treinar a IA, é usar a IA para avaliar as imagens. Todo os sites de redes sociais faz isso.

As near as I can tell it is happening; just in short-form video spaces AI fans watch, not actually here.
