If you use the default feed, you aren't getting algorithmicly fed stuff. You can even make your own.

Ok let's check it out (I've used Bluesky sporadically before and have it on my phone but let's give it a blank slate)

Yeah...**cough cough** bull####.
Why is BlueSky feeding anti-Trump American politics when I'm in Canada on a brand new account with zero ties to anything, in the middle of cute cat and dog posts?
Explain this sir.
So basically BlueSky's default is furries, cute pet pictures and anti-Trump politics. The default sure as heck isn't neutral. I would expect a neutral state to be clear of all politics, maybe have a current news event, and inoffensive posts.
Like I don't mind BlueSky, it's a good platform and use it at times, but let's not start pretending that it isn't heavily slanted even by default.
