Yes. And I seeded my feed with people I already knew. Just like I did with Twitter back in 2008. And just like Twitter all those years ago, from seeing what they repost, I expanded my network.

People who are incapable of finding content without a "discovery" or "for you" feed get what they deserve.

If this is a typical attitude to the new user experience, no wonder Bluesky isn’t succeeding.

Why would anyone want a "discovery" type of feed on any site? On sites that insist on showing me content from things I don't follow I just block it.
