The true rival to X is not using social media at all. If you’re mad at your Skinner box, switching bubbles won’t improve your life.

Correct.

Essentially you’re switching one filter bubble for another filter bubble that makes it harder for any contrary opinion to pierce it.

The horde of right wing blue checks that dominate all popular political tweets is not a filter bubble. It is a user-hostile feature that makes organic political interactions impossible on the platform. It turns a peer-to-peer network into top-down broadcast.

In days of LLM, 99 out of 100 users are likely bots. That is probably also true for bluesky.

Like it or hate it, spending money is about the only semi-reliable defense against boting.
