On a positive note I have more faith in the people in this app than any other platform. Bluesky is the last social app I have an account with. I'm going through my own battles after the election cycle and controlling who has the privilege to inject opinions into my day has a huge positive impact.

Perhaps the Bluesky newness is wearing off. Perhaps folks jadedness got locked in on Jan. 20. But fuck, I locked into this platform after following so many positive people and now my feed is full of endless negativity. I'll be resetting my follow list soon.

Can we accept there are a few core concerns for progressives? Live without fear of gun violence; All races, genders, identities should have an equal seat at the table; education.

AOC loses committee vote to 74-year-old Connolly. Do you seen it now? House Democrats like things the way they are. As actions speak loudest, if Democrats were muted they would appear quite conservative. What are the next steps as progressives to make America a safe home for friends and family?

@bsky.app #featurerequest Lots of folks are adding users and brands to lists instead of following them directly. That's super useful for various reasons. To support clarity around the popularity of a user or brand, it may be useful to include the # of lists they have been added to.
