I would like to explain one of my reason yo try Bluesky, beside @jph.bsky.social motivation. I have 2,000 followers on Platform X, I’m the author of a top-trending repo, and I’m very active with my GitHub community. But despite that, it’s become unbelievably hard to reach people on X. 1/5 🧵

No matter what I post, even random words, the X algorithm caps my impressions at 200. Meanwhile, low-quality posts easily get thousands of views. When only 200 people see my posts, how can I reach those who actually need my content? No way to accept only 200 in world are relevant to my posts! 2/5 🧵

My first post about my repo got 90K views and great engagement. Since then, nothing. People say you need to “volume post” (spam posts all day hoping one breaks through). What the hell!! Why should I hack algorithms just to reach relevant people? Is this designed to force us to pay to boost? 3/5 🧵

This has left me replying to others’ posts from people I like just to stay visible and get exposure. But that’s not the only thing I want to do, I want to share my own ideas. It feels disconnected, like I can’t reach the audience that matters. 4/5 🧵

I hope this new platform will be different, where posts actually reach people who care. I still love X for the friends and connections I’ve made, but this issue is big for me. Let’s see how it goes here, hoping for better! 5/5 🤞
