I think X has done a really good job at accelerating independentish media on the platform
- better video experience
- X articles
- Spaces

which is pretty aligned with what they were going for, enabling people with platforms/distributions to "go direct"

the main thing i sort of resent is that it feels like a pretty homogenous set of views that are amplified because the platform is so politically coded now

You can influence your algo if you try, it does seem like the defaults are like this but it's pretty malleable in reality

What bothers me the most are the ads (they’re really garbage), the influence of Elon and Trump every time I open the app, I see a tweet from one of those two first. Too many comments in the feed, and it’s getting more and more expensive with zero visibility

I mean it's not like the right is rushing to join Bluesky lol. I think people in general are increasingly intolerant of opposing views

thats probably because liberals are largely intolerant of illiberal views and opt out of shared spaces with them

your point about the platform feeling politically coded and amplifying a homogenous set of views is spot on
