It was a few months ago, but when X was banned in my country I tried Bluesky for a while. It took a lot of effort (adding blocklists, muting words and blocking individual accounts) to cleanse the timeline of k-pop and furry content. I am not interested in either type of content and didn't follow any such accounts, but still, the "Discover" feed kept showing that stuff to me. It was the strangest onboarding experience I've ever had in social media.
The number of times I've seen straight up porn and OnlyFans content on Twitter in my feed in the recent months is 100% higher than what I've ever encountered on BS.
Some of the algorithmic feeds on Bluesky feature a non-zero number of dudes holding their dicks (posted without NSFW tagging). "What's Hot Classic" has a serious problem with this. And no, this isn't personalized at all.
That feed was defaulted for my account so for the longest time I assumed the community there was largely gay men (along with a surprising percentage of weird furry stuff). And good for them, but it just wasn't my kink to see dudes holding their dicks or sexy animal illustrations in my feed.
The discover feed seems to be absent this problem. But WHC should be either given a warning to user or at a minimum start doing some "guy holding his dick" AI inference and auto-tag those posts.
That’s strange. AFAIK my wife has never had this experience with her feed. But then again she hasn’t been using it too much lately as she has been too busy going to karate competitions with her instructor, Jacques.

Not doubting her experience, but I've never experienced this (accidentally).
