Terms & Privacy

Last updated April 2026.

Terms of Use

FlockOff is a free tool that lets you mass-block accounts on the Atmosphere. By using it, you agree to use it responsibly and in accordance with the rules of the services you connect it to (e.g. Bluesky's Community Guidelines).

FlockOff is provided as-is, without warranty of any kind. We're not liable for blocks applied in error, accounts blocked unintentionally, or any consequences of using the tool. We encourage you to use the preview screen and relationship filters to review accounts before committing to a block.

All block and unblock actions are performed directly on your own account via the permissions you grant during sign-in. FlockOff never acts on your account without your explicit instruction.

We reserve the right to suspend access to FlockOff for accounts that misuse the tool (e.g. automated abuse, coordinated harassment campaigns).

Privacy Policy

What FlockOff accesses

When you sign in, FlockOff requests the following permissions from your identity provider:

  • atproto — read your DID and handle
  • repo:app.bsky.graph.block — create and delete block records on your behalf
  • repo:app.flockoff.blockEvent — create, read, and update FlockOff's own records in your repo (your block history)
  • repo:app.bsky.graph.list / listitem / listblock — create and delete block lists if you choose to share one

FlockOff does not access your posts, follows, DMs, or any other data beyond what's listed above.

What FlockOff stores server-side

FlockOff does not store your personal records or block history. The only server-side storage is:

  • An encrypted session cookie — stores your handle and avatar URL so you stay signed in. It expires when you sign out or after a period of inactivity and never leaves your browser in plaintext.
  • In-memory block job state— while a block job is running, progress is held in the server's memory. It is never written to disk and is lost if the server restarts.
  • Anonymous aggregate counts — we track community-wide totals (total blocks run, posts processed, lists created) for the Stats page. These counts are never tied to your account or identity.

Your block history, criteria, and all event data live in your own Personal Data Server (PDS)— not on FlockOff's servers. You own it and can inspect or delete it at any time.

Third parties

FlockOff reads public engagement data (likes, reposts, replies, quotes) from the Bluesky AppView API — the same data anyone can see. No third-party analytics, ad networks, or tracking scripts are loaded.

How to revoke access

You can revoke FlockOff's access at any time from your identity provider's settings. On Bluesky: Settings → Privacy and Security → Connected Apps → FlockOff → Remove access. This immediately invalidates FlockOff's session and it will no longer be able to act on your account.
