Bluesky is booming in Japan — mainly for reasons other than U.S. politics (www.japantimes.co.jp)

The main problem with BLUESKY is that it's the same regurgitated shit you find everywhere else. As a brand new user here's the first 10 things in my feed:

  1. Someone trying and failing to make a clever joke about the US Presidential election.
  2. A picture of black hole (which is great!)
  3. Semi-clever joke involving Professor X and Alvin and the Chipmunks
  4. Self Described "transfem lesbian" screaming about how much they love women. I mean yikes it's creepy AF.
  5. Boring US Political schlock about Lauren Boebert.
  6. Science / Astronomy content
  7. Video Game Post
  8. Self Described "#1 Gayest Lesbian" screaming about how much they love women. A copypasta of the other and still creepy AF.
  9. Another eye-roller "I am soooo depressed" meme.
  10. Boring US Political schlock defending Dr. Fauchi

So BLUESKY seems to be Twitter v2, primarily inhabited by the Pre-Elon Blue CheckMark types. Can I "fix" that with filtering? Probably but if I do then the feed will slow down so much that even checking in once per day will probably be too often.

I registered and I felt the same as you. Not worth my time.
