The engagement quality is better too since replies are ranked based on merit, like how Twitter used to be, rather than whether or not the poster gave Elon Musk $5.
edit: correction, replies on X are now ranked by how much money they give Elon Musk, with $16/month subs getting ranked above $8/month subs, which are ranked above $3/month subs, which are ranked above the plebs.
- opan 2y agoIt'd be nice if they were just ordered by when they were posted, oldest first. That's how it is on Pleroma.
- jsheard 2y agoSeems you can make it chronological, as mentioned by the sibling reply. https://bsky.app/settings/threads https://bsky.app/settings/threads

- citizenkeen 2y agoWhat order replies are shown in is a user profile option.
- CuriousCosmic 2y agoReplies aren't necessarily ranked based on merit btw. They are ranked by whatever ordering you choose in your settings. The options are: - Hot Replies first - Oldest Replies first - Newest Replies first - Most-liked Replies first - Random (aka "Poster's Roulette") I believe "Hot Replies" first is the default but I may be mistaken.
- TkTech 2y agoAnd hot replies was only added two days ago, and is simply giving newer comments a temporary boost so they don't end up unnoticed in long threads. Choice is nice! https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3lbxfx4nfkk2z https://bsky.app/profile/bsky.app/post/3lbxfx4nfkk2z
- paulpauper 2y agoThis is not true afik. All blue accounts are sorted randomly but above non-blue ones. I don't think $16 ones get better ranking
