The older a social media becomes, the more noise it gets, the more bots, the more user fatigue. The only things the platforms can do is (1) fight to keep things under control, and (2) add useful new features, so the fatigue doesn't become insurmountable.
I'm still on X, and I don't want to join another social network, despite not being particularly happy with X. In fact, I wasn't happy even years ago, when "Who to follow" kept showing me Trump and I was annoyed that I had no control over that panel - I wanted it completely gone. Regardless of that, and leaving the aging issue and bot situation, I find X way more balanced now than in the past. It didn't surprise me when I saw CNN showing figures about political leaning in the past and in the present - with an almost equal representation nowadays, and a significant left majority years ago.
Bluesky is young, and it will go through similar pains with user fatigue, bots, etc. Regardless of politics, where there are people, there will be bots to spam them.
