Yes, of course. Bluesky is also social media and so the precedent set by these cases will apply to it. Besides, knowledge of a subject does tend to affect your judgment.
So is Lemmy...
I was wondering the other day if Lemmy or Bluesky have any algorithms that are actively trying to keep users engaged?
Technically it does, it does use ranking algorithms, but they are for sorting and surfacing content rather than a modern “engagement optimization” system like a recommendation feed designed to maximize time spent.
