To be clear, I don't trust Fedi to handle this information with care, either. Difference being that on Fedi, your mods aren't some VC/blockchain-funded corporate entity. They're often enough your friends, your neighbors, or yourself.
While there are certain database-related exploits which can be used to pull a blocklist, often enough that's a challenge for a typical layperson with an axe to grind. And it's an incomplete picture thanks to the quirks of federation. Not so on Bluesky.
I'm not going to talk about Bluesky anymore for a bit, but I know folks are coming back here after hanging out there for a while, and I want to encourage Fedi users not to gloat, not to be jerks about it.
And if you're just (re)joining us on Fedi, like all affinity groups, you're going to run into enthusiasts who are gloating, but I promise most of us are just happy you're here and want to help make this place awesome for you. <3

Let’s be kind, friends. A new user on the Fediverse is…well, we’ve been there ourselves.
