I really enjoy Bluesky a lot, but I agree that there's not enough tech news for my taste.
I do follow a bunch of tech news outlets (including many HN bots), and that works. But there is very little engagement, few likes and few comments. I'd like to see more of what others think. My experience on Twitter was that often these comments suck and aren't thoughtful, but there are some gems, some really enriching, and also that it was still useful for networking & finding those other interesting people out there.
Mastodon seems to have gotten most of the devs. But they don't have a ton of tech news either. And honestly there's just so little interesting development of Mastodon / ActivityPub. Where-as there are really neat amazing not hard to do cute apps and experiences happening with atproto / Bluesky. It's a weird bifurcation of not that technical sometimes but also technical about itself & very active about itself.
