This is a valid question. I agree politically with a lot of Bluesky users and still find it to be an awful space to hang out in.

- acjohnson55 7mo agoI agree, I'm sorry to say. I personally believe it's because they replicated the same incentive structure as Twitter. Being provocative generates engagement, which gets you reach and creates the perception of relevance. At first, people were just happy to be at an alternative to Elon Twitter. But good vibes only get you so far when the incentives point the other direction.
