Gregory's Server@rra I’m not sure starter packs are even “nice and all” (pro-social, user-minded, helping Bluesky in the long-run, whatever “good” metric).
I personally feel disoriented on SoMe when I have no context for *why* I am following someone. If that context is “someone said to” instead of first-hand experience, the “following” feed becomes indistinguishable from the “discover” feed.
Obviously, it is “nice and all” for short term growth
@jwillemricci I think there is a good use case, to get people started in a community of conversations. People don't join a social network to join a specific platform, but a specific network of people. However, inclusion to such a list should be voluntary.
