Bluesky adds an ‘algorithmic opt-out’ feature for those who don’t want to go viral

Bluesky added an “algorithmic opt-out” that lets users prevent their public posts from appearing in the Discover feed, reducing visibility beyond their existing follower network. The setting is toggled in Privacy and Security, takes up to an hour to apply, and is stored at the account level so it propagates to any AT Proto-compatible client, though external apps may choose whether to honor it.
