What goes wrong
Company, ethics and policy28%
Community self-moderation was going well, until Bluesky decided its team needed to censor all critical and divisive issues to save face.

Uninstalled because ads ay before every video, no matter how short the vid is. scumbag company.
AI content2%
My attempt to log into one of my accounts has been rate limited for several hours now, and I've only tried five times.
Bots and spam4%
At the same time, I got an email saying I'm showing 'bot' behaviour and the account has been taken down...
Feed and algorithm4%
the "for you" algorithm is terrible. "Show less" doesn't do anything. my feed is a constant influx of furries and irrelevant posts to my interests. going back to twitter
Harassment and moderation27%
my already existent account has been limited, demanding I verify my age, only for the methods they employ to not work. my account is pointless now and I have no reason to use the app anymore.
