Look at some of the comments here. If Bluesky has the reputation of being centered around US politics, it won't be the choice of those with other interests.
Seconded. I haven't more than glanced at national news since November 6. I still get a few rumblings on Bluesky ("Trump nominated who?!" or whatever) but for the most part it's sea worms, cats 'n mushrooms, comics (need more!) and local news. The sea worms were a happy accident and I'm not gonna undo it.
