Man, everyone bitching about Bluesky but very few cheering the long overdue departure from twitter.
Anywhere is better than twitter.

Ah yes anywhere is better than twitter let me go switch to threads.
Jumping from one central controlled platform to another changes absolutely nothing. People switching to Blue sky instead of the fediverse are braindead
Any changes away from Twitter is a net positive. I don't care where, as long as its not there.
For the love of god wake up people, do you know what little percent of people know about fedi? Services like these jump to where the public is, not drags public behind it. Bluesky made huge jump publicity wise, and that's when it was already more widely known than fedi. Moaning about it doesn't help.
In perfect world, we'd have country-specific instances with all national news and announcments centralised in there, to which people could easily subscribe to. But that even sounds complex to average person, compared to "Hey, Bluesky? Yeah twitter but better".
I know the BBC has made a Mastodon instance as a test some time ago. If only other broadcasters did something like that.
