Bluesky Can’t Take a Joke

Summary

Nutrition label

58% Informative

Bluesky has been a safe haven for users fleeing X and Threads .

While there's less hate, there’s also fewer lolz.

Bluesky users are unable to decipher jokes, or they are deliberately trying to miss the point to make a different one.

The lack of humor detection is made worse by algorithmically curated content.

The Onion has the fifth largest Bluesky account, with over 1.2 million followers.

Bluesky hit a point where it was populated enough with active users to be fun and useful at some point within the past six months .

The political climate has exacerbated the issue, comedian Josh Gondelman says.

Shwin Rodrigues: "If everyone is immediately breaking out into uproarious applause at your joke, your audience is too small" But he says it's “the funniest part of the internet. ” Rodrigues says it also strikes me as unfair to shame someone because they haven’t been slamming their head on the wall.
