Re: " Delete your twitter (and everything else), by Winter..."
Agreed. That was thought provoking. Somewhat related, but Bluesky stood out to me as this odd thing. When musk took over the bird site, you had two camps: all the cool people went to Mastodon, whereas the tech-illiterate/influencer people migrated to Bluesky. I've honestly never visited the site though, so I might be way off base.
I get the impression that Mastodon etc. was just too *different*, and that people with marketing teams want something familiar (in this case a carbon-copy of Twitter).

I was on Bluesky relatively early on, and in the initial beta it was like a very limited userbase Mastodon that looked exactly like twitter. Then the Musk takeover drove a lot of people over - and it became terribly toxic very quickly. Almost all content I encountered was centred on hating on something - usually Musk. It got boring.
