Twitter likes instead are a reality tv show idea of intellectual debate. "Marketplace of ideas" then people get relevant by gaming the algo. Death.
I also watched 10 seasons of Hells Kitchen once. Then one day I stopped watching trashy tv shows.
Hopefully more people are coming to the realisation.
(1) Ideological echo chamber.
(2) The honeymoon wore off and people are back to being just as toxic as they were in the final stages of Twitter.
I don't think think these things are fixable and have shifted my time spent on social media to other platforms.
Before I started hanging out here more, I posted a fair amount to Threads. But I find both the discussions and interface on here preferable to Zuck’s knockoff Twitter.
1/2
Otherwise I think bsky lacks the user base to drive engagement for the ppl that DO post. Text boards are very fragmented right now and the gated rollout didn’t help bsky.
There's too much "me me me" and not enough "we we we" with big names here.
Convincing others to join can’t be the only strategy.
Who wants to be in my downstream?
Not enough cities content, but a lot of birds

Also me: *sees multiple recent posts from you at any given time, feeling like I'm not alone in this. 😂
Bluesky itself could do a lot more 'the more you know' posts to educate users a bit
Every new account must follow the official Bluesky account, but it never posts anything
The other thing is - I get why they are anti-algorithm - but they need some way to feed users content/posters they didn’t explicitly seek out so people can grow their engagement networks organically.
Each post there has an option to "show me more like this" and "show me less like this"
Don’t make them feel bad for pulling in their arms because they need to hug themselves right now.
