If you can provide one, a screenshot of the browser’s error console could maybe help find the issue.

Seems to work fine now. Maybe a temporary server issue with Bsky. They tend to be overloaded occasionally these days.

The laser does not follow. It only targets.

When using the laser against large accounts, rate-limiting can become an issue.

Currently it is limited to one operation every 200ms but that may not be sufficient. Alternative solutions will need investigation.

Sorry for the inconvenience

The AT Orbital Laser does not collect any user data outside of the blocks, mutes and lists it necessarily leaves behind in the smoldering ruins of the impact site.

Nothing else. Not even how many have used it. It does not remember who fired it at whom, when, or why.

The laser is for the people.

Blocking/muting all followers of an account can severely limit their ability to send their followers after you.

It's an effective action against targeted harassment where often just a few users whip up a mob against their targets.

Use the laser responsibly. It is a very blunt instrument.

The AT Orbital Laser is operational!

Use it to block/mute a user along with all their followers, or add them to a moderation list.

The app supports login via OAuth (simplest for most people) and app passwords.

It's fully client-side so your data remains private.
