My comment does seem a little dogmatic whereas there's always a broad variety of approaches & preferences with anything. I was somewhat exaggerating, but my goal was to represent the typical user as best as I can glean.
As someone who advocated heavily for Mastodon (& continues to), I spend more time on bsky now, but I've found people's reasons for being there over Mastodon to be either my reason: network effect, or for the vast majority of folk: UX. ActivityPub client/server UX remains abysmal in comparison to centralised services (not complaining as I know it's a harder problem for decentralised tech, just stating the fact).
Algorithmic feeds haven't come up in the context of bsky prefs mainly because - in my experience - algorithmic feeds in any app/website are broadly hated by all but the most tech-savvy of people.
