I just removed the Discover feed and stick to For You or Mutuals. Much more pleasant experience.

Bluesky is great because you can make your own algo or go with one that isn't meant to keep you on the platform forever.

Mastodon is still my favorite, though.

That being said: I hardly use either, these days. I pop on, check statuses for people I care about, then I'm off. I don't engage in banter or get into arguments. It's way better than the other social platforms for this reason. ...but it won't get that same terminally online user base because it doesn't seem coded to do that, thankfully.
