Bluesky adds an algorithmic opt-out for people who do not want to go viral

Why it matters

Bluesky now lets users post to followers only, excluding themselves from algorithmic amplification. It is a small feature with a large premise: that reach is something a user might decline rather than pursue. Most platform design assumes the opposite. Worth watching as a signal of what a post-virality default could look like.
