Bluesky is ushering in a pick-your-own algorithm era of social media

I hope this will become true; it's the reason I made an account as soon as possible (not the one that matches my name), have followed hashtag-based feeds with mixed success, and donated to my favourite client (tokimeki.blue). I want to follow topics, in the fashion of Usenet or Reddit, not people. If I'm interested in dandelions, I want to read Jay Expert's posts about dandelions, not their posts about their breakfast (unless it's dandelions) or favourite TV show (unless it's about dandelions).

I fear the recent US election is going to kill it, though.

How? Aren’t there a lot more people migrating to Bluesky now in light of Musk’s antics on X?

Look at some of the comments here. If Bluesky has the reputation of being centered around US politics, it won't be the choice of those with other interests.
