reaction to this is crazy to me. 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦 should leave algorithmic, link-suppressing hellsites. i want all sorts of losers i would never follow or converse with on bluesky 𝘴𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘱 𝘣𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘥. the whole 𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 of this place is that you can ignore stuff you don’t like!

Here we are, and that's Bluesky in big ways, but it is also a product. People know what that logo means. Political pundits say "the Bluesky crowd," and that signifies whatever they want it to signify. I'm just wondering if you want to break that branding in any meaningful way. Yeah, we want to expand it. "Breaking" is maybe the wrong word, but yes, we want to expand more and more so that Bluesky means not just one thing, not just liberal politics, for example. I will point to sports as an example from the last year. We've made a very concerted effort to bring on sports leagues and sports writers, and it's worked really well. There are a ton of sports conversations now on the app, and those people come here for the sports, not for the liberal politics. It's possible to expand.In politics, it's probably our hardest challenge because we have one type of user base there that's very active. That's good too. They are super active, and they're very much at the forefront of politics and very engaged and very informed. But we can just keep adding more communities so that it balances out.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
