I find that I want the opposite of the firehose: I want the thoughtful and smart people, and I want it to be about their interests.

I did sign up for bluesky, but it has the same failure as twitter: I don't want to hear about your politics just because I follow you.

I wish there was a way to force users to use 1 hashtag per post and then I could unfollow hashtags - but I suspect it would be playing wack-a-mole.

Really anything that aims to replace twitter should be forced to not optimize for engagement.
