What are your thoughts on Bluesky?

[fairyrune]

i can't say i've had many of the problems others have had with bluesky - specifically, random rude users and people doomposting. i hardly see any of that these days. perhaps it's because of my filtered words, which actually DO hide things on bsky, one thing i hated about twitter. i don't want to see it at all; don't show it to me but give me a button to unhide the post, because i'll definitely click on it.

that being said, as noahie put it: it's a microblogging site at the end of the day, and that has some fundamental issues, some of which are dependent on how you personally use it and some of which are not. i use it to keep up with friends and browse art that isn't posted anywhere else (to my dismay - sheezy is right there!), but just because i don't see it doesn't mean the horrific discourse doesn't exist. i think what resonates with me about it is the fact that i can actually curate my experience to a better degree, NOT that the site is "better" (however you want to quantify that).
