Anecdotal, but so many people in my circles have jumped ship to Bluesky that the transition is pretty seamless at this point. It feels more like Twitter than what became of Twitter does.
Curious: what happens when Bluesky has all the same people/posts as Twitter? Will it be any better? Or will it just be the same thing on a new website?

#52I don't understand the obsession with hating on X/Musk right now. He has his opinions, but X is still a great platform, and last I checked, Mastodon and Bluesky still feel like echo chambers (and the latter has a lot of... furry content). In the quiet, it feels like the media moved from hating Trump to hating Musk, and people are now obsessing over amplifying that message. But for what gain? It all kind of reminds me…

Of course, maybe that's fine, some people prefer it that way. But, for me, it seems nice to have a common place where organizations put out announcements.

#55It’s very difficult to do unless you can have broad consensus. I tend to use Twitter for an industry wide group and while a few individuals have moved, the Bluesky version just doesn’t have the reach or usefulness of the twitter or x version.

Same thing but without Elon Musk. At this point (not) moving to Bluesky is just a vote of (no) confidence against Elon.

#60The people fleeing X are leaving because they are being exposed to views that they disagree with and they can't stand to see it, except bluesky and mastadon are even more draconian and capricious than before Elon buying it. I'm staying because finally the views that I agree with are being exposed better, but still 50% of my feed is dominated by views that I disagree with but I can at least tolerate it now.
