ironically the structure of x/bluesky, that favors emotive content and echo chambers poisons its own data. You should be wary because the only kinds of people that can use these sites are those that get off on warping their personality to please the mob.
I used to believe most people grew past this ape part of their brain some time between preschool and kindergarten, shortly after you stopped crying while hungry. On X and similarly on Bluesky all users lack emotional development. e.g. Kevin's last post begging people not to hate him. It's feels like walking front door and -50C and the ground is a red desert. You're from mars.
This isn't on corporations or governments to regulate. This isn't on other people to move to your preferred clone. This is on YOU to use better software.
And don't even get me started on the "value" these apps provide
arguably it cheapens engagement and connections.
Say you post that you're going to an event and a follower sees it
1) Since it's easier, the follower didn't need any interest it just popped up in their feed and they decided to go for validation
2) There are 2 phone drones at an event, repeat for everyone that does this now you are at a packed event with people that don't care, locking out the people that do.
