As much as I hoped Blue Sky might succeed where Mastodon didn't, it's by far the platform where I've gotten the most unwanted dickpics and thirst traps, and the general vibe feels so shallow and performative.
The signal to noise ratio is so low even when curating feeds, it feels pointless to post anything meaningful anymore, it just gets drowned in the noise and bots.
Oh wow, didn’t know that. I never left X but saw a lot of talk about BS when the transition happened. I just assumed it was a clone of Twitter with mostly the people who left.
That sucks tho. I’m not against other places existing if it makes people feel better.
The purpose of Bluesky isn’t to make people feel better it’s to stave people off from being indebted to an advertising heavy society. Software like Twitter that’s designed to keep you engaged and defending it regardless how harmful it’s been in the last decade is the reason Bluesky exists.
