"Shared block lists" are a common ask but I keep hearing on #bluesky there are lots of problems with them (e.g. someone can get on a list too easily with no recourse)

Has anyone written up an analysis of these issues, both pro/con of shared block lists? I'm not asking for a huge discussion, I just expect there are a few writeups on this topic and I'm looking for links.
