How about actually trying to use it in the manner it's designed? Follow some stuff you like for a few weeks, add and remove, see how it goes?
As Pepsi said, there are plenty of studies looking at these things. Seek those out if you care.

So Bluesky isn't slanted because of the 'algorithm'.
Its slanted because of the users - who the algorithm uses to decide what to present to people - because there is still an algorithm presenting what to show you and keep you logged in!
So Bluesky is the very definition of an echo chamber I guess.
Sure users have more control of what they get presented then X - The algorithm will make sure they see exactly the messages they want to see and reinforce their beliefs!
Good for app engagement! Warm and fuzzy feelings when everyone agrees (and hates) the same things as you online!
Keeps you coming back for more of that sweet sweet reinforcement
