Buoyancy

Bluesky feeds with the ranking in plain sight. This page shows what each feed holds right now and why each post is where it is.

Politics, only from people I follow or posts they liked. No search, no rage bait. Open it in Bluesky.

score = (author x quiet + friends + votes) x quality x fit x decay x viral x feedback

  author    w_follow if I follow the author, + w_mutual if they follow me back
  quiet     1 / sqrt(author's posts in the window), floored at quiet_floor
  friends   w_friend x sqrt(likes + repost_weight x reposts, counting only people I follow)
  votes     topic feeds only: w_votes x log10(1 + total likes)
  quality   the judge's 0-3 mark -> quality_mult; 0 and flagged posts (spam, slop, bait, promo) are dropped
            (the friends feed drops nothing and only ranks them low)
  fit       the judge's 0-3 mark against interests.md -> fit_mult
  decay     0.5 ^ (age / half_life_hours)
  viral     viral_factor for a non-follow's post above viral_likes (not in topic feeds)
  feedback  less_factor / more_factor after "show less / more like this" on that author

Who can appear:
  graph    people I follow, or a post min_friends_for_outsiders of them liked or reposted
  friends  people I follow
  topic    posts the judge gave that topic: from follows, liked by a follow, or (unless graph_only)
           from search with quality 2+ and min_likes likes

   Today in 1967, the Outer Space Treaty entered into force. Now boasting 112 states parties (it started with just 62), the treaty guarantees the peaceful exploration of space for all, bans militarization of the Moon, and outlaws nuclear and other WMDs in orbit, on celestial bodies, and in outer space.
