8 months agoOn Bluesky a user can group a bunch of other users together under some topic and then offer the pack to others to help them get started with who to follow. You can auto-follow everyone in the pack. But afaik you cant choose whether to be included in a pack.
This is why RSS is/was so important. RSS readers curate what a user wants to catch up on or follow, right from the sources. Having your own reader (not Feedly, its too big really) means you choose who to directly follow. You click through to them. Back in the day Technorati provided what was trending and big headlines r busy hashtags. So a kind of watchtower. All links went directly to the original content.
