I know it’s sometimes a bad word around these parts, but that’s exactly how bluesky works. There’s a whole bunch of community provided lists that you can use to both find content and people you’re interested in and filter out the stuff you’re not. It is a first class feature and works very well. To give some idea, I never even knew JD Vance joined the platform because he was instantly filtered out for me. Bliss.

Regardless of how you feel about the platform itself, those community lists prove a really good model that works and I’ve had (mostly) positive experiences on that platform as a result.
