Not everyone is happy about it being the default.

    “Engagement bait” is also the default option on Lemmy, Mbin, etc.

      Not sure about Lemmy, but the default option on Mbin is “Hot”, which is just chronological order with boosted comments pushed to the top. Boosting is basically just the microblog way of retweeting, and I believe will add an extra point to the score on the Mbin side.

      Could be a bit confusing, since Mbin’s definition of “hot” is 95% chronological, but Bluesky’s definition has more to do with reply/like ratios.
