If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

push notifs for activity notifications should now be much improved - old ones will now stick around, instead of being replaced by new ones. collect endless notifications to your heart’s content
kudos to @esb.lol for this change!

hey folks, we've heard reports that some posts and accounts weren't showing up in search.
there was a technical issue on our end that prevented a small number of new posts and accounts from getting indexed.
we're backfilling the missing data now, and search results should return to normal soon.

We're considering a feature that would let you specify topics you're not interested in, in addition to your existing interests. This would influence the content shown on your Discover feed and the accounts recommended in Explore. What do we think?

Too real. We’re going to try to fix this. Social media doesn’t have to be this way.
