What feeds do you recommend for a good bsky experience? I want to kick the Discover feed to the curb, but I'm trying to think of what value I get from it so I can replace it with other feeds. First on the list are the top posts from follows and mutuals feed.

KOSA is being reintroduced today.
It's always been a dangerous censorship bill.
But in this environment, with Trump weaponizing every aspect of the Federal government to suppress speech he doesn't like, KOSA is a catastrophic attack on human rights.
We have to stop it.

KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

Has a more "Linux is neat" crowd emerged on bsky like on Mastodon? Or are you still more likely to hear folks struggling.
Not saying the struggle is bad or not valid, just wondering what the vibe is.
