alt Hacker NewsI also have a fine experience, but only by switching to the For You feed full-time and mostly sticking to my compsci-academic-tech-programming neck of the woods. Minority or not, the users GP mentions are so obnoxious that it affects the 'vibe' of the platform as a whole. Look up any "Top Posts" tracker/feed/whatever. No matter that I even (mostly) resonate with the underlying political leanings, I find the tone pretty dreadful.
Of course, the same applies to whatever remains of Twitter now.

I think that’s the key of it for me. Usually this criticism of Bluesky users is part of a justification to stay on Twitter. When the exact same problem exists on there, just with a different type of user.
Yeah, it's nothing against the platform itself, it just happened to get a population boost from dissatisfied people. It seems so many of them are just miserable and there to create a feedback loop of negativity.
