probably gonna be banning more news outlets so that in conjunction with the above, we can hopefully get rid of the 100s of identical posts that go "did you know vpn torrent?????" every single time a streaming service raises their pricing

posts quoting feed-banned users, and replies in threads originally started by feed-banned users, are now ignored by the feed.
n.b. this was already the case for posts directly replying to banned users. these restrictions do not apply to replies/quotes by certified pirates.

i have a bias towards extension fields on existing lexicons because it allows firehose consumers to be more stateless (whether that's relevant depends on your case ofc)
but if you're editing records then yeah, sidecar, i'd consider breaking cid links enough of a problem to avoid the other approach

yeah, and feedgens need the same firehose as the appviews, so any attempt to disallow consumption of the firehose is an actual loss of feature even for users of the official bluesky app/pds/etc

let me be clearer i guess
if Bluesky PBC wants to make users of non-policy-compliant appviews (e.g. zeppelin) invisible their only option is to make all third-party-PDS users invisible (probably making all their engineers resign), because they cannot tell which users are using which appviews
