Soon you will be able to like posts bluesky. Twitter dupe recently announced that it would be testing a dislike button aimed at improving the personalization of users' feeds.
The idea is that the posts you don't like directly influence the posts you see in your feed.
Posted by Bluesky about the test function in a blog post:

“We will soon begin testing the dislike option as a new feedback signal to improve personalization in Discover and other channels. Dislikes help the system understand which posts you prefer to see less. They can also have a small impact on answer ratings, reducing the visibility of low-quality answers. Don't like it, and the signal is not global – it mainly affects your own experience and, to some extent, others in your social environment.”
So, to be clear, dislikes will not be visible to the public – this means that people will not see what you dislike or how many dislikes a post may have.
While this isn't a radical change to how Bluesky works, it could lead to an improvement in daily scrolling. Bluesky's Discover tab is widely ignored—or worse, hated—by power users because it's mostly filled with trivial posts that rack up likes. As a writer Mike Pearl Featured in Gizmodoif only there was a hate button In fact By filtering out posts and topics you don't like, it can turn the Discover tab into something “useful and maybe even dangerously addictive.”
The internet is full of bad posts, but it looks like you'll soon be able to do something about it at Bluesky.
