I wound up deleting Bluesky (too) when a political fight about border security started between two accounts I follow for 1990s video game nostalgic content. unsurprisingly most of these top stories are left-leaning and political of nature given blueskys reputation as being a refuge for exactly that kind of content post-Elon twitter. I was personally hopeful that blueskys tools for user content filtering and personal curation would let me rebuild an interesting list that was mostly politics free - I say that agnostically. But my reality seems to be anybody regularly posting into these networks winds up catching the “mind virtus” from one side or the other and inevitably most accounts, wind up reposting or engaging in that kind of content. I don’t have a strong point given this is a lazy Sunday afternoon comment other than I truly appreciate HNs mostly successful efforts to keep discourse focused And I think the despite its flaws HN winds up being a good blueprint for how to admin, community interest, focused discussions, and I’m hopeful, others will pop up!
