If you're mad at Bluesky for doing this, I think you're mad at the wrong party. Modifying intent is problematic and can be abused (although I think there's nothing particularly problematic about this particular instance). The real problem is that you have next to no possibility of modifying the behavior. On an OS that respects user freedom, there would by a myriad ways of intercepting what the software is doing to get your desired result. On iOS, you're at the mercy of Apple. I think we should be mad at Apple for normalizing a computing culture that views user freedom as a security risk, potentially something that should be outlawed (thinking of age verification).
