The first post when I opened it after reading yours:

>The same people who’ve spent the last several years decrying “unqualified DEI hires” are now shoehorning through Cabinet nominations who can’t even pass a basic background test.

This is the opposite of what I want in any app I open. It's time we stop chasing engagement for sites and start filtering for content. I want sites that don't promise to be the place to do everything for everyone but one's which I can judge on their censorship to know if I want to join.

It seems like it's complete luck of the draw on what the front page looks like before you sign up.

I refreshed once after posting that and it looked amazing enough to come back and post here that it does look great now. Refreshed again and got this at the top: https://bsky.app/profile/rexchapman.bsky.social/post/3lazzns... here's hoping they stop amplifying the people who made twitter so toxic and make a network that's actually pleasant to be in.

Well, Threads does that[1]. So it seems to mostly be full of menial banter, if that's up your alley.

It isn't. I want a place where people leave their politics, religion and genitals at the door. Op made it seem like bluesky did that. A look at the front page says otherwise.
