    I think it’s because X actually does a lot of harm and people want it to fail.

    Blue sky definitely seems like the best alternative for an average non technical user.

      All social media provides a level of harm. Twitter is not better or worse than Facebook, Instagram, etc.

        Instagrams format doesn’t really lend itself to societal breakdown. Twitter and Facebook Groups absolutely do and have a lot to answer for.

        Fediverse is the next gen and improved to cause less of that. People are excited about the normies making the next step.

        Twitter is now the most actively harmful with the widest reach, by a large margin

        It is categorically worse than the Meta services because they still at least maintain a veneer of moderation.

        Don’t get me wrong, I agree they all are bad. But it’s should be the priority of everyone reasonable to end the reach of Twitter ASAP given the damage it’s causing.

        Bluesky represents a departure from both X/Twitter and Meta, and should be encouraged. Yes it would be great if everyone was heading to Mastodon, but don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

        The goal is to make Twitter irrelevant as quickly as possible

          Who’s goal? This is sounding a bit cult-y. I want none of it to exist. Short of that, couldn’t care less.
