I just received my invite code today and took a quick look around the app. Like Mastodon I do not prefer microblogging platforms. And that's all I know about Bluesky.

So, what can you tell me about this project?

I heard it was pretty much twitter with even less moderation, but it's a smaller so you're slightly less likely to run into open neo nazis, but only slightly. I only have hearsay to go on, as it never really interested me, but most of the people I know that went to it have stayed.

From what I saw it was quite left leaning when I used it

Yeah honestly hearing it describes as being full of neo Nazis is wild lol, it's almost more left leaning than Lemmy

I'm glad to hear it's turned, but all I was hearing about was racism and transphobia that is at modern Twitter levels.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

there is some transphobia but it's nowhere near modern levels and most of it is drowned out and countered but it is still there. it's not bad though. i only encountered one instance since ive been there

I see more transphobia on Lemmy than BlueSky, but that might be because Lemmy is more oriented towards what everyone is saying while BlueSky you mostly see stuff from people you follow. There isn't an algorithm driven feed there (yet)

Bluesky has 3rd party algorithm feeds, with hundreds of feeds already live
