All social feeds are going to end up leaning "left" where users get to vote without heavy algorithmic/moderator manipulation. It's only considered "unfair" by people that have to trick other people into liking them, and scream over everyone to "be heard" because they've quickly proven themselves the human equivalent of an AI spam bot trained on FUD, hate, and zealousness.
Those demonstrably opposed to all forms of diversity do not get to hide behind "diversity". They just suck, and no one wants to listen, or talk, to them, except other people exactly like them. It's not a paradox, it's not hypocrisy, it's just decent people avoiding interacting with miserable people as best they can.
I used Bluesky at the beginning of the year, just to check how it has progressed after initial launch. I was easily able to keep a feed with nearly 0 political content by building my "Follow" list organically.
If I felt like jumping on a bandwagon, I'd click the Discover feed or trending topic. Before leaving, I blocked those elements with uBO just to see how it felt. It was exactly as I dreamed, a feed solely of my own design without any distractions. Bluesky should completely hide those feeds by default. They should just remove them entirely IMO, but 1 step at a time. Let people find each other in natural ways, void of any algorithm. Just provide the platform to manage their custom-built lists and how other people can interact with them through it.
