The reason so many media sites are attacking Bluesky is obvious when you consider their click based news model. This site doesn't have an algorithm that pushes their sensationalist crap on your face and it is harder to be "viral" on. It breaks their whole business strategy so they hate it. - ThreadSky

The discover feed especially seems to prioritise relevance over virality which is neat

It's a much better experience, feels like twitter of 10 years ago but like if it never stopped changing.

Yep, that's it. It's why they're hand wringing about echo chambers; if people can control what they see it's harder to get the rage bait in front of them.

Needless to say I love the fact I can calmly close the door in their screaming faces. 😄

Given on the other sites seeing freinds is pretty much impossible amongst the deluge of ads and such, they clearly are out of touch as to what made social media attractive in the first place.

Pretty much. Actual journalism & journalistic integrity are requirements somewhere on social media again. And that hurts their profitability.

Which is really weird because like every Journo I've talked to says their actual articles are getting a lore more interaction on here then they were on X.

Right, the journalists like it, but the management doesn't because management doesn't understand it and can't rely on a shit business model.

I think it’s just a bunch of weirdo conservatives who don’t ID with the Republican Party anymore and used to actually hostile liberals. And there’s not much more than that.

So the kind of people who become management
