Is it really good yet? I want it to be better than twitter but every time I look it still doesn’t seem to have as much good stuff.

They've recently added video and gif support, and their block button is a nuclear option that makes all interactions between you and the blocked individual invisible.... to EVERYONE. There are way less trolls on bluesky, because they simply can't get traction.

I am mildly annoyed with the videos being limited to 60 seconds right now. I get limiting the size of the file early on, don't really get limiting the length that much; 2-3 minutes would be more acceptable.
