  I think to trying meet all of these without compromises (such as privacy and performance) is basically impossible. How would one boost engagement on positive emotions or personalize without large data mining efforts, model building, and running text classification on every comment or post?

  I agree they are good aspirations.

  That’s fair, I guess I just don’t see the connection to OP. From how you phrased this I assumed you were disagreeing.

  This looks cool, but I would prefer to not pass my credentials to a third party, especially for features that should probably be in the default client.

  Engagement does not exclusively mean commenting or posting; voting is also engagement. If you just want to lurk, why have an account in the first place?

  There are a lot of interests I have which do not have enough users in communities here to make sharing things worthwhile, personally. Why waste time sharing art or music or other original content in places where it gets little engagement?

  There’s a reason the front page is primarily covered in memes, news, technology news, and politics, and that’s because those require little barrier of entry to participate in for those tech savvy enough to already be here.

  I fully expect this to go away as soon as bluesky overtakes other platforms in users.
