Client side is completely out of the question here. You can’t just send millions of posts to every client hoping that they will order it themselves. Bluesky has a well thought out architecture that does that through server side feed gens, that can be decoupled from the App itself.

This is the initial reason for the invention of “The Algorithm” on social feeds, before it got sabotaged to push content with an agenda.

No need for a new direction, right? Biden can run for president even if dead, and liberals would still vote for him.
