So two friends of mine were moaning about what they see on BlueSky, and they did not realize there isn’t an algorithm like Twitter, that it’s driven by people you follow/your feed/lists and that you have to kickstart everything. My wife was the same way until she got things set up.
I know it’s been said here, but you have to curate this stuff, but it means you’re not inundated with bots, women with pictures of their genitalia on their profile, people who claim we didn’t land on the moon or that the Holocaust didn’t happen, or that aggy is on its way to a historic season, but who end up in your feed because they have a checkmark because they paid $8 a month, etc.
You also get tabs for specific feed topics, so when you want to look at Ukraine stuff, you click on the Ukraine tab, when you want CFB stuff, you click on CFB, etc. and it’s really good and efficient to have everything so neatly organized.
