Has anyone managed to get a "functioning" tech discussion feed on bluesky?
I tried not long ago, mostly help me get acquaintanced with the ruby ecosystem and news, but even using starter packs and the like the best I got was following devs that mostly talked about non tech stuff (personal life, politics and the like).
Particularly annoying was the constant "we hate twitter" posts (I know, I'm here now, so why are we talking about them?). Also tons of anti AI clickbait.
My experience was the same but I wanted to get rust news. In my opinion social networks are failed concept because they want you to have one account for everything. They should encourage people to have multiple accounts for different audience. It is normal to talk about different things with friends, colleagues, family etc.
I follow people mostly from the JS/TS web development community and have a pretty good balance of tech takes and some lighter life updates/humor in between. I mostly the "mutuals" and "popular with friends" tabs to check things out.
Every now and then there's too much US politics, but it's hard to escape nowadays.

That's mostly what I want to avoid. Not that I'm not interested in humor, but I don't really care about the personal life of some random developer in the other side of the planet.
I was just trying to get a RSS like, relatively context dense feed to substitute reddit and other similar sites. But I'm not sure it's doable in any current social network.
Not sure when that was, but there's significantly more dev stuff now since around November, e.g. the iOS devs I knew from Twitter showed up there now and are posting regularly (including dev stuff), while before last autumn it was hard to find any of them there.
