I keep seeing the echo chamber thing but at this point most social media sites are. Bluesky is just a left leaning one, which is the only thing that really sets it apart.
I wouldn't say it's left leaning... Its definitely liberal leaning. Which almost makes it more insufferable than a conservative lean sight.
Yup, pretty much. Honestly I'm not even sure I would join a social media platform where I would have to read the thoughts of uneducated, unfiltered morons who probably should be sterile and cut off from the internet.
I mean honestly I think left leaning is basically being neutral and accepting scientific consensus. To me the non federated part of bluesky is kind of what makes me consider it a time bomb. Even if it were good now, we already know one owner switch, hostile takeover, threats from the government etc... can flip a network around faster than you can blink. It's why I literally see federation as the only way forward for the internet, and find it so ridiculous that everyone bolted to bluesky to escape twitters crash instead of mastadon. It's the same key problem. it can go down in moments.
Maybe im missing something. Mastadon doesn't work at all like Twitter or bluesky. In haven't used it in a couple years though, blsky has a discover feed where you can sew accounts you aren't following. When i was using it, Mastodon only shows posts from people you follow.
I mean, going to be straight I've never used twitter or bluesky, and made a mastadon account like 5 minutes ago to test. Looks to me like the homepage is just things you follow, but there's trending page to view top posts, hashtags etc... Which to my knowledge is kind of what twitter was supposed to do (minus Elon pushing all his posts onto your home feed no matter how many times you try to stop it).
