For some reason I can never just lurk at a site - if I’m there - I post. But I’m trying to change my ways at Bluesky to be mostly a lurker. I’ve had hardly any conversations. In fact - I’ve had very few replies. And the Bluesky format and algos are shitty. Navigating the site is often no fun for me. It would be cool if could look at the top posts for that day but there’s no way to do that. And I miss the ability to hide ~20 posts with one click like my Reddit bookmark used to let me do.

At least at Reddit libs will lecture you how you’re wrong. But Bluesky is very different. Because there’s no downvote button - they go crazy with the block feature. I know a comparatively huge number of people are blocking me. And I wonder how many have muted me. There’s no way to know.
