I do think X has one big advantage over BlueSky. Or rather, had. A modern recommender system. Now there's @mysky.social, built on similar architecture, but transparent and controllable. You get all the good stuff, but you don't have to optimize for engagement if you don't want to.

Going to give it a try.

Wondering if something similar could be done for "who to follow" algorithms, basically based on your follows, and activity the recsys would extract signal and predict similar between users and rank them. I've read (a little) that this is challenging to do on bsky (because decentralization?).
