Look, people choosing bluesky, likely knowing full well that it will eventually go bad and they’ll need to relocate again… we can scold people like that for choosing a precarious VC backed service, or maybe we can recognize that in the social media space that some people are … migrants.

Maybe we should ask ourselves what Bluesky offers now, in the near term, that’s compelling to people who might not enjoy the luxury of a long term, and ask what their choices say about us in the process.

@mhoye One thing to remember is that although the mass twitter -> bluesky migration is *starting*, we're still in the range where a *lot* of the people joining bluesky at this moment are people who are willing to experiment. Meaning: Most of them are people who *already tried* Mastodon, since of course it's been around longer, and rejected it, and could probably clearly explain what reason they rejected it if asked.
