A quick scroll of his account on Bluesky ( https://bsky.app/profile/urlyman.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy ) makes it pretty clear why his Discover sucks. The algorithm on Bluesky sorta works like a mirror, you get out what you put in. My feed is all art posts and wholesome memes because I follow artists, creators, and comic pages, so it sounds like he's trained his algorithm to be full of political complaining and toxic people like him. He should probably look into the Mute Words feature and start blocking stuff he thinks is toxic!
There has also been an influx of toxic people whose only joy is getting a reaction out of others that are joining because the people they’d normally target on X are leaving. I’ve seen them trying to get the same type of engagement they used to get and also a lot of other people calling them out as “Hey, this person is an ass, you can block them/add them to the MAGA Trolls list”. That could seem like a flood of toxicity to some.
I noticed that for the first time yesterday.
Today, I don't see them. I guess maybe moderation and/or blocking is working.
But, why won't everyone join Mastadon instead?!?
Thank goodness they go to BS.
Also they only follow a single person??
Like how do they expect their feed to be customised and filled with stuff they enjoy, when all they do is follow 1 person and make political posts and posts such as “bluesky sucks, mastodon is best”.
If you're toxic and you mute toxic words, will it hide your own posts?
I tested it with "cat" and it blocks me from seeing things I've reposted with the word "cat" in it, so yeah it might! :)
Reminds me of those conservative men who complained on xitter or insta that TikTok is sexualizing girls. They showed their TikTok feed and it is full of young girls dancing in cheerleader outfits. These people don’t understand how the feed works and they were basically outing themselves.
