What ultimately makes Bluesky boring and disappointing is the lack of humor. I think that's due to it being well-known as a liberal echo chamber. It's not that we need conservatives -- they're definitely not funny! -- but we need apolitical nihilists. Apolitical joke posts just can't get traction.
But it's a vicious cycle, because the fact that this place is dominated by earnest humorless liberals means that even political jokes don't land. This weekend, for instance, I jokingly asked if anyone had any takes about Biden dropping out, and someone SENT ME MULTIPLE LINKS. Like, Jesus Christ!
