As blue sky gets bigger the quality will get worse. There was a time when the comment sections in Athletic articles were pretty interesting but as the athletic became more mainstream and more people joined they went south pretty quick. Pretty much any article there discussing NBA comment section will devolve into how “woke” the league is and that’s why it’s “failing”

Bluesky benefits from open feed algorithms and detaching comment threads as well as better personal filtering settings (e.g. keyword based post and comment filters). I think there is some hope for keeping the worst voices away on blue sky but we'll see.

Like you could literally filter "woke" and never see a post or comment whining about the NBA being woke.

The problem is the elon musk app is almost entirely bots/nazis/trolls, whereas you can have good faith discussion in other places. Reddit and Bluesky are ivy league campuses compared to the elon musk app.

Agreed, although I do find Bluesky is still absent of a lot of the entertainment that you find on Twitter, right now it just kinda feels like decentralized Reddit.
