I've also been on it since it was invite only, and was immediately turned off by how American-political it was. I spent an hour or two trying to curate my feed out of that and into interesting content, and found there wasn't a lot of that.
I got back on it recently to give it another try, and it's somewhat better now - in that the proportion of USpolitics posts is still likely the same, but at least in absolute numbers there's enough non-USpol posts to make a good experience.

Yesterday, I opened up BlueSky on a non-logged-in computer, and 90% of the default feed was US politics, most of it rageful. I don't know what you qualify as "rage bait", but a majority of BlueSky content is at least angry and caustic.
