there's no algorithm here throwing content at you that it decides you like. everyone who engages you chose to engage you. you can control the content you see or take it as it comes.

threads is manipulating users and mining data. blue is just real people engaging with real people.🥃

Thank you Mr D. That actually makes sense

i hope the gang over at "fully charged" explores here. i believe it would be a successful chapter in that adventure. i know for certain it would an amazing opportunity for bluesky users to learn and engage.♥️

This is the first time I'm hearing about farmers in London. But then I'm not a Brit...

The odd post but not much

There is no algorithmic feed here. It shows you who follow, and who you engage with.

Smattering of farmers stuff, mainly about tax dodgers.

Well that's answered my question about whether my posts about the farmers' protest are reaching anyone! Must try harder!

Only seen 2 posts about it. They must have you dialed in.

I think the key here is that Bluesky isn’t force feeding you content and just showing articles that actually tie in with your activity.

What's Threads?

Seen a few things about Barbours For Justice, but really think they could pick better places to whine about having to pay tax on property worth over £2M.

Threads algorithm is very aggressive.. look at one thing and it thinks you must want EVERYTHING about that thing. One of the main reasons I'm checking this place out 😁

Not much chat cos we already know the score:

Probably because nobody gives a hoot about rich farmers on here?

Just a handful highlighting a different approach from other social media outlets.

My feed on Threads is wall-to-wall "this is what Elon Musk has now posted on that other site that I left for this place". If I wanted to know what that dumb turd was saying I would have remained on Twitter.
