Human-curated rather than algorithm-curated
The fact that you can disable the algorithm is an immediate 5-star to me. The moderation is pretty good, as there’s lists to not see certain things, such as furry posts (thankfully). The only thing that’s kinda annoying is the video player can sometimes break for no apparent reason.
Refreshing when viewing other apps; Drafts grayed out; A few missing features, need more interests
Bluesky should not refresh when I minimize it and open another app. This is so annoying, and I’ve lost writings because of this.
When I write a thread with multiple posts, save it as a draft, close it, and reopen the draft, all but one of the posts in the thread are grayed out, which doesn’t change even when I tap into them.
Threads need to still be scrollable even when there are deleted posts in the middle of them. Private accounts would be nice. There should be more interests to choose from. In particular, Math, Poetry, and Philosophy would be good to have.
The moderation system for artists still makes no sense.

Feeds are constant porn
I followed exclusively political and news accounts. Yet constantly, I would scroll through my feed and see porn and what I can only assume is animated porn? It was bizarre. This UX is terrible, every other social media app has managed to personalize feeds.
poor age verification process
Recent version consistently mislocates me in Texas requiring continuous location sharing to use the app. I can only assume this is a strategy to harvest location information on users.
Yikes
Filled with bigotry and a refusal to moderate. Curating my own feed doesn't even work anymore so what's the point?
