Bluesky might be better Twitter, but if people doesn't hear about it, or does not want to try it out, they'll stay on Twitter. Or if they can't stand Musk they go to Threads. Simply because those platforms are the biggest there.

Bluesky is spreading like wildfire in academia at least.

And much like wildfire, it's going to be a fucking disaster. I don't understand why people who are paid to be critical thinkers would jump to another platform owned by a centralised actor. It'll be the same shit all over again.
