   I am on BlueSky at https://bsky.app/profile/actualham.bsky.social but I guess I don't understand why we would do that when we have Mastodon? If you are there and want to explain it to me, please do. I understand that it is elegant to use and people are there which is, you know, like the main thing. But what makes it a true ALTERNATIVE to the shitstorm that ate the bird app from the inside out? Are you really hopeful that as a platform it won't dramatically erode the public good? Why? Truly asking.

     For me it is not enough that we can find community there. I had community on Twitter and it changed my life in the best ways possible and I loved it deeply. And that was not enough to keep me there. And it was not nearly enough to overcome the devastation that the platform has caused in our world IMO

     I guess if BlueSky can get more mainstream media outlets off the bird, that would be a win. That's all I can think of right now as a perk tbh
