It’s fine for the bridge to Bluesky to be opt-in. But however it’s constructed, I am looking forward to sharing some of the fine content here in a space where algorithmic discovery is easy and uncontroversial.
It was imo unfortunate for the cause of open social media that it got paired with a finical dogmatism inclined to throw roadblocks in the way of basic operations like searching content.
@TedUnderwood the problem could be faceted. This platform offers features that are up to instance administrators to activate, and I understand algorithmic feed is one of these.
The instance I landed into provides it, and I hated it in the beginning, but in the end it does a better job at following contents I care about (better than filters I designed myself) plus others moderately outside of my bubble.
"Open social media" is a place where mileage can vary greatly. Which can be seen as positive
@ideaferace Yes, faceted and local has advantages and is okay with me.
But personally, I prefer a space where algorithmic discovery (and search) are just default norms. I’m glad I’ll be able to base myself there and connect to (parts of) the multiverse.
