Right. My opinion is that following people/accounts shouldn’t be the single approach (and that it may even be the overall more detrimental one), and that it’s generally better to follow communities. Like HN, or subreddits, web forums, formerly Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or also more chat-like platforms like Discord and IRC.
It would be great if Bluesky could generalize to that. My understanding is that it’s focused on primarily following accounts, and that you don’t independently have communities focused around topics and interests.
Technically feeds don't depend on keywords or hashtags but it's the simplest, cheap compute method to run. I run a feed with an ML model but it uses heuristics like Like Count and follower lists to limit the throughput.
I think this kind of decentralization is going to have problems once people start attacking it. It's going to be really hard for you to filter out spam in your free time. Or even misclassification if there's no scalable way to report false positives back to you.
