I mostly agree with you that the political landscapes are mostly extremely different, rather than just shifted. Incidentally, when I tried Twitter (pre take over) it was more the US centric activist left that drove me away.

(Edit: That said, in the previous comment I was primarily thinking about the fact that the Republican party now explicitly supports far right and populist parties in Europe that are firmly outside the mainstream.)

That said, it sounds like your problem is more that other stuff isn't there? I am an academic, I followed interesting people in my field, and I am mostly on the feed that just shows me stuff from people I follow (plus a few curated feeds). So I didn't try to actively block stuff, and I have enough content to spend ten minutes every other day on the site and find new and interesting things. So maybe it's the combination of the niche I am after and the fact that I don't want to spend too much time on social media anyway that makes bsky a good experience for me...

Ah yeah if you're an academic it makes sense presuming your niche is there. I'm looking for a more general hobby site and sadly Twitter and Reddit are still that to me.
