BlueSky. Less algorithmic boosting and it allows you to curate your feed.

It's VC funded - so it remains to be seen how it evolves

I've been happy on BlueSky so far. It seems to be picking up a good variety of people, including journalists, and some interests of mine like cycling.

I'm crossing my fingers but history seems to be against them. You have to pay the piper at some point.

Wdym with "curate your feed"? See only posts of people your follow? That's always been possible with Twitter.

You have control over what is suggested by the algo, and can make several different feeds - in addition to just a feed of your follows. Rather than whatever "For You" is doing on Twitter these days.

Yup. There's the basic chronological feed. There's a Discover and Popular with Friends feed. But, you can create your own feeds and/or subscribe to feeds that other people have created. You can have feeds for a specific topic or subculture. They can be manually curated or algorithmically; the idea is that can you subscribe to your own recommendation algorithm. They can be as simple or as complex as you'd like. Plus, you typically know who created a feed. Let's say you want to hear about AI news. There could be a curated AI, assuming someone cares about to garden it.

Not after Twitter started forcing you to see accounts you don't follow.
