The AI/tech ecosystem on twitter/x really generates a lot of interesting posts still. The discover algorithm is really good at surfacing adjacent content (sim clusters?).

Bluesky occasionally gets a boost of posts but then dies off. This last week's transition has been more vibrant. Simonw, danabramov, natolambert post regularly. (If you're into to the tech things I think it's finally growing. Bluesky is still pretty nasty but blocklists + sentiment changes making it less toxic.)

I think I'd like private likes and other features atproto doesn't currently allow that I think would improve algorithm signal. Currently too easy to pollute bluesky's discover with likes from too many topics.

It doesn't have all the bad x features introduced since 2022 which is nice. Bluesky recreates the active conversation feel twitter has. Does threads, or does it feel like 'comments'?

How Simonw can use that toxic place I can't understand. Either he has really thick skin or, more likely, is an actual robot (in a good sense).
Or he’s pragmatic and doesn’t have neurotic reaction to everything
