from what I've seen, the reason bluesky was whipped up into rage was due to a few influencers trying to bait as many people as possible (including the initial trolling). they & their audience aren't using the algo, they're using grassroots "bush telegraph" technique.

oh, I definitely agree with your point, bluesky is very poorly designed for the dialectical. everyone just spends time making hot dogmatic takes, then block & ostracize contrarian pushback as much as possible. unfortunately, all they have is a single bottleneck algo + whatever echo chamber the user wanted before.
