For me, if you can tolerate a more blue-leaning political climate, Bluesky feels better than X. It may not explode as fast, but the long-tail effect is real. Anonymity is also a bit stronger there.
- alecsm 1y agoBlue leaning? I wouldn't mind that. The problem there is that every topic is mixed with politics and it drains me. I'm already bombarded with political stuff from every angle and when I want to talk about tech I don't want more politics into it. In that regard even X is better. I can keep it pretty clean by following few people and not looking at the For you page.
- zywoo 1y agoHaha, true, but I’m really interested in political theory and philosophy. So occasionally when I come across some very in-depth original content on Bluesky, it feels great. I’ve even made some friends there with whom I can have long-term conversations, for example, discussions on Bayesianism, rationalism and empiricism, as well as Spinoza’s Ethics. I’m not really interested in topics about the Democrats or Republicans, Biden or Trump.
- jMyles 1y agoI like Bluesky, but it feels just as overrun by bots and LLMs as X.
