Bluesky isn't perfect, and I actually find it kind of annoying, but it's a "follow who you want" place. If your timeline is strident, that's because you followed people who are strident. The same isn't really true of Twitter, where even the "Following" timeline shows you algorithmically-recommended content and then boosts the replies of paying customers (AKA scammers.) To get the same feature from X, you need to do something complicated with "Lists", and it doesn't fix the reply ordering problem. The rest of your comment tells me that you don't really spend a lot of time with scientists, but you do spend a lot of time developing your opinions from social media. I wish you could do the opposite! Academics are great and funny and sometimes wrong about social issues just like other people, but they also work on some of the coolest problems we have.
