I'm not sure Bluesky filters out angry content at all, as this is what I see when I don't follow anyone or have any followers [0]. I wish there was way more filtering than what I currently see as it makes me not want to even interact with Bluesky if that's what I see as a new user.

Basically what I did is just follow some people I knew from twitter, and from that I discovered a few follow lists and block lists that I liked. Within a couple of days I had a pretty well curated and very busy feed of things I was interested in seeing and interacting with.

I don't see any of that because I've gone to the effort to Show Less on that sort of commentary in the Discover feed. None of it is in Following because I don't follow any of them.

I don't know exactly how they populate that with no following, but I can prove it's filtered by showing you this completely unfiltered view: https://firesky.tv

Have Ctrl+F4 ready to go. Good luck.

It doesn't show images which is likely the biggest source of angry images, as I see on my feed. My point is that as a new user, I shouldn't have to see such content as I posted, because it turns people off using the platform entirely. I shouldn't have to Show Less, it should ideally be filtered like that automatically.
