I’ve found Bluesky not great for sharing. They don’t seem to have an efficient tech team.

It’s useless at least when it comes to how most people use it. Like an authoritative source instead of a tool that can help you with searches. If you use it in the latter way, it can be useful as I said above. But you have to strictly use it as a (very) suboptimal tool and not a source.

Indeed. And that is sad.
It is also why none of my sources moved there (many did, but stopped posting there because it is not a good program). I have an account there. But I don’t use it for a reason. It’s just not an alternative to Twitter, which is kind of tragic given the obvious issues with contemporary twitter.

Probably. There is another sneaky new thing they are doing of placing unlabelled ads in your feed.
It makes me laugh when Musk people say “remember when everyone said the cuts he was making was going to break the platform?” ignoring how broken it now is. I routinely have my feed reset while Im in the middle of reading something

I read a piece at the time who said you will hardly spot the degrading over time but if you go away say for a year and come back you’ll notice it.
