I don’t plan to spend too much time on Bluesky anymore. In terms of media features, it doesn’t compare to Threads; in terms of social interaction, it falls short of Rednote. It feels a bit like it’s becoming more isolated and niche, narrowing its own path. It’s getting a bit dull.

media, politics, and capital—to manipulate ordinary people, making us believe that the society they desire is also what’s best for us? But what if the elite class is completely out of touch with reality?
