If a new a Twitter/Bluesky replacement is to promote civil discourse, it will need to _restrict_ reach as a core feature. Which... seems antithetical to a social media platform. But as long as "enragement = engagement" holds true, each new social media platform will eventually devolve into the same kind of cesspool as its predecessors.
- thatnerdyguy 2y agoBut...restricted reach is exactly how Bluesky works. People you follow show up in your feed, and only them. You can look at other feeds that are not as restricted, but you are making that choice.
- gs17 2y agoBluesky has the "Discover" feed that is definitely not only people you follow (sometimes, when it feels like it, they'll be on top of it).
- thatnerdyguy 1y agoCorrect. But you choose to look at that feed. It's not the only one available to you. I have like 6 different feeds at any one time.
