Finally got around to signing up to Bluesky after avoiding Twitter for almost two decades and, well...I don't get it. The entire thing is basically just Shower Thoughts, Shower Thoughts featuring politics, and the occasional picture of a cat... That's it? Really? It's like a more boring version of Lemmy and Imgur. Please explain what I'm missing here cause I lost all interest after about 30 minutes on the site.
It's the same crap as Twitter, I don't get why people ever used it in the first place.
Like Lemmy or any social media really, you get out what you put in. If you just follow the generic feed without following anyone, yeah it's going to suck.
You can make lists, so one for your friends, one for news, one for a hobby. Or you can filter hash tags to really narrow in on a topic. People also make "starter packs" of who to follow for any topic you can think of.
This format is also unbeatable for breaking events.
