My impression of Bluesky so far is that it's twitter with a mutually shared understanding to not engage in a set of behaviors that led to the twitter experience getting worse year over year - mostly related to avoiding dunking, negativity, and Takes. Overall vibe does feel similar to early twitter.

At first I thought it was basically a standing agreement to not be very negative on here for fear of harshing the vibe, but after a few days it feels like it's really about not treating this space as a discursive battleground for ascertaining "truth" or adjudicating disputes via mass opinion.

I feel like the lack of a trending tag and algorithm that incentivizes rage bait and doom scrolling is a big part of it

Its all about the good vibes

The threat of getting disintegrated like Rorschach is a great motivator for politeness.

i think the "show and tell" vibe is definitely a product of a new userbase but honestly i hope it sticks around because i love how many people are openly sharing the things they like, its so cute

Bluesky is like twitter mixed with pintrest but if pintrest was less shit.

I think that also the lack of an algorithm that moves discourse like crazy helps. There is discourse, there are arguments, but there is no algorithm that makes sure that I am served those tweets.

I think the algorithm incentivizing disputes and Rage-baiting was what really made Twitter get worse year over year, especially in its last 2-4.

My "everyone's tab" is filled with artist posting their work, though my feed still lacks game content, it's like I'm on a cloud.

We're applying our lessons learned to a platform that is similar in design but without the algorithm function and the man-baby billionaire at the helm. Essentially the bar we were all at got lame so some of us went another quieter bar down the street where we all are promising to be cool this time.
