I think one of the worst quirks of online spaces is the idea that if someone doesn't post about something, they don't care about it. It encourages performative posting often makes things worse.
I care a lot. I just don't want to add another poorly-informed voice. I'm reading & thinking.

A closer look at:
HOME FEED PREFERENCES
(toggle drawing) Show Replies:
toggle to allow, and adjust "likes" to see more/fewer replies to posts in your home feed (tl)
Less likes = more replies seen = FULLER TIMELINE
Show Reposts:
you can turn off all reposts here, but you can't turn off reposts from individual accts (yet.)
Show Quote Posts:
you can turn off QPs, but reposts will still be visible if you don't turn them off as well.
Intro to Bluesky privacy:
(drawing of unlocked padlock)
1. Your Bluesky acct is PUBLIC (as of yet there is NO priovate option)
2. There are NO private messages (drawing of letters "DM" with no sign through them)
(drawing of round face behind brick wall)
3. Blocks are PUBLIC (people aren't notified when you block them, but your block list info is available for public search)
(drawing of snake tempting round face person saying "yesss look up who blocked you")
(drawing of round face with fingers in ears)
4. If you MUTE someone it's Private
but...
5. If you create a Mute Lists it's PUBLIC!
you can follow others' mute lists and/or make your own by going to Moderation --> Mute Lists
Okay! So threading can be rough here! Here's all my "guide" together if you need it (not exhaustive, just the stuff I tell folks to get them started :) )
