It's a bigger echo chamber than X. What's the point? I go online to try to get a general idea of the landscape of views and opinions.

I think a general problem with the current political landscape right now is that people literally cannot tolerate reading something they disagree with, because they convinced themselves that the other side is so morally flawed, they can just immediately write them off without further consideration.

But irrespective of that, how are you supposed to understand what is going on if you only read content by people who think the same way you do?

Not everyone uses it solely for political stuff, though. I'd like to just be in a community related to my hobby without death threats and constant abuse. We moved to bsky a year ago, been so nice.
