There seems to be a wider variety of people and interests since all the Musk fans stayed behind in X. However, BlueSky has a feature thats a double edged sword called starter packs. They're cool because you can use them to block all rules following Nazis with a single click. Or subscribe to a bunch of people in a niche hobby. Problem is that there's also starter packs to block anyone vaguely leftist and those blocks make it so your comments dont even show up for anyone else under the post. So it doesnt seem to be good for political agitation since its very easy to get filtered, but a lot better than Twitter for hobbyist stuff and artists if you were missing any of that.

Edit: also a lot of academic content. Theres starter packs for professors in a lot of different areas which is kind of cool.

I'm currently on twenty one different block lists, most of which are some variation of "tedious tankie". About 1270 people have blocked me in total using the lists. I predict that if it's still up in a few years it'll consist of extremely insular tumblr like micro-communities driven by a hyper-toxic cycle where someone upsets a block list moderator and gets instantly zero'd from everyone they follow with no warning or recourse.
