This is nonsense. Bluesky is not a big shouting match. If you don't like the default algorithms you can pick your own, including chronological.
If this is sincerely your actual, real experience with Bluesky then you use it in a very different way from all the people who are happy with it.
- BryantD 2y agoTo be completely fair, feed algorithms can be somewhat opaque. On the other hand, most of the feeds I follow are just picking up on keywords/emojis or include all posts from a specific list of people. So it depends to some degree on your choices.
- Kye 2y agoThat's true. I do wish the Discover algorithm were open, but I understand that can open it up to abuse. So far it mostly just shows me nice things. There was no point with Twitter's algorithmic feed when I could say that. I can't speak to any secret motivations but it seems like the folks running it care about making a nice place for people to hang out. We've seen how a desire to not be evil can clash with a desire to make money, but I remain optimistic.
- bschmidt1 2y ago> the folks running it care about making a nice place for people to hang out This is actually what I didn't like about bsky. I don't want the developer of software to inject their personal social biases into the platform, and thought one of the main points of decentralization was to mitigate this.
