As a mastodon user, I can definitely confirm this.

Give people the way to repost / retweet / boost, and your feed suddenly turns into mostly negativity, even if your algorithm is "show posts from my followers only, newest to oldest"

Yeah my Bluesky followers are carefully curated to stop from swelling into negativity. I've been playing around with a labeller that filters followed posts into those that I find emotionally pleasant which I've been training based on my own labeling of followers' posts. The goal is to follow more people and have the labeller (or feed generator depending on how I go) hide the posts I don't care for.
