Accounts (particularly huge ones like media orgs) should be able to set a "default feed" where, when you visit their profile, instead of seeing the reverse chron, gives you a feed they've created for their audience. This is a killer differentiator and @bsky.app needs to have built it a year ago.

It does many things at once: 1. A clear "show don't tell" of the entire pitch of ATProto, 2. Turns what has otherwise been a high traffic dead zone in social for 20 years into a space for rapid experimentation, 3. Creates incentives for becoming BSKy first (i.e. news rooms can sell direct),

4. Because of getFeedSkeleton, quickly becomes an exportable asset that can reach out to the open web, 5. Creates a built-in flywheel for audience sorting into feeds, 6. Is.... fucking trivial to do? I feel insane that this hasn't been done yet. @alexbenzer.com begging you to revisit

@danabra.mov here's a cheap fix ^

i don't fully get it — what's on my profile? sort of like my own For You?

Much more for NYTimes etc - which is a vital constituency to win - what if large accounts used feeds to manage their direct representation of self to their most dedicated audiences? A news site's homepage is articles laid out in semi personalized fashion with enticements/ads interspersed to....

i think this aligns with some of the earlier sketches of the community/space/group/channel concept

I'm less read into that but I think we're on the same page of "Twitter, but 2011, forever" is not the move lol
