   The difference between Mastodon and bsky is that Mastodon is like :birdsite: with all the worst ppl from :birdsite: missing, and bsky is like :birdsite: with just all the worst ppl from :birdsite:. 🙃

     And to be clear, this is not about Blacksky that has complex reasons to exist that aren't for me to judge. It's about the mainstream pundit & journalist class, the high profile stochastic terrorists, the white armchair activists, etc.

     @dalias I almost always regret reading the comments on linked bsky posts, even if the OP is pretty good

     Maybe the culture will chill out a bit after the energy from the big wave of twitter migration dissipates

     Rich Felker repeated this.

     @smn @dalias Default order for showing replies in Bluesky was recently changed to "what's hot" -- I'm not sure how that's figured precisely, but engagement figures into it. And, as elsewhere, "high engagement content" and "emotionally triggering clickbait" seem to be effectively synonymous.

     I reset it to showing replies mostly chronologically, for a much better experience (it still puts people I follow first, but I can stand that). But you have to be logged in to have that option.
