Personally, if there was a service like Bluesky that let you choose your algorithm instead of just being purely chronological, I would jump on that very fast. That’s what Bluesky’s killer feature is, imo.
Apart from, y’know, not being the hellsite that is Twitter.
I would argue that what makes it good. Mastodon is only as good as you make it but you have to take personal responsibility. That’s something that people should get accustomed to taking again.
Mastodon has terrible discoverability. It feels like a ghost town. It’s just not suitable as a Twitter replacement.
I think this is the primary hitch.

I mean, if Bluesky can let you create/choose custom algorithms for your feed, why can’t Mastodon?
