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:
Someone trying and failing to make a clever joke about the US Presidential election.
A picture of black hole (which is great!)
Semi-clever joke involving Professor X and Alvin and the Chipmunks
Self Described "transfem lesbian" screaming about how much they love women. I mean yikes it's creepy AF.
Boring US Political schlock about Lauren Boebert.
Science / Astronomy content
Video Game Post
Self Described "#1 Gayest Lesbian" screaming about how much they love women. A copypasta of the other and still creepy AF.
Another eye-roller "I am soooo depressed" meme.
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.
Well... Then... Just don't follow those people. My personal feed is 100% artists and scientists. That's the fun part of Bluesky; unlike Twatter, you're not forced to see all the cringe and ragebait.
And you don't have one asshole owner boosting visibility of his own posts and those of accounts he likes, and lowering visibility/shadowbanning those of people he doesn't. The "For You" feed tends to have not stuff you actually enjoy, but things that make you angry.
That's what it's actually named in Twitter, so I'm not going to stop calling it that just because you're triggered by ... a completely different website.

Please stop calling any homepage timeline a "For You", I don't want to get reminded of Ti##ok's existence.
P.S.: lol it looks like I've pissed someone
