I disabled reposts and quoted posts to knock the noise down to 0. Since then I've enjoyed my time on Bluesky. In many ways it feels like old Twitter with simple filtering and I think that's what people wanted?!?
But Twitter felt cringe to me long before it was consumed by Musk and politics. Messing with the feed has backfired all of the big platforms. First Facebook then Twitter and most recently Instagram.
They all became a closed loop of content that is force fed. Injecting an ad in the a feed we control wasn't ever enough.
I love it. I wish I could tilt the chart on the other axis at times and it could be less "thick" so its easier to read overlaps. But so far so good. My partner and I had a lot of fun exporting the city we used to live in vs where we are now.
As a long time subscriber the move to video has been pretty painful. In general the flow of stories has changed so much that I miss more news than I see in the NYT.
Next year, keep in mind that you can buy games as gifts and then schedule them to be delivered to the recipient account at some point in the future. So you know, buy ahead of time, like normal gifting…
