@chopaganda can you believe hashtags aren't even a thing on Bluesky?

@chris Watching who gravitates to BS vs here has shown me a few things:

- For some, a pleasant and familiar UI is far more important than any level of functionality/benefit from something less familiar (be it from the comfort that comes from familiarity, not wanting to put effort in, or intimidation from doing something new)

- Many people just want to yell into the void with familiar faces and care much less about content

Nothing wrong with either. Just interesting to observe.

@chopaganda @chris It seems to be that BS is drawing people in for whom political posting was a big part of their identity. Not to say there aren't people who care very much about politics on Mastodon, but it seems to be harder to chase clout here that way (maybe due to the lack of quote-toots?). So the volume of political posting stays lower and people are instead just sharing things they like and having conversations.

@mielcarz @chris I’m not seeing that on my end. I’m seeing it drawing in a ton of high-volume, low-thought, nonsense/stream of conscious posters. Nothing wrong with that, obviously. Just an observation.

@chopaganda @chris I mean, I intentionally followed a lot of those amateur pundit type guys so maybe it’s a me problem.

@mielcarz @chris And on my side, most of my feed is Phish fan follow backs so it could be on me too.
