Wish they would go to Mastodon, even Threads which is on the fediverse.
the great migration to another investor-backed patiently waiting disaster. enjoy it while it's good. if only they used activitypub. Mastodon is just too confusing for the average person, it will never take off. bluesky streamlines everything into being simple and understandable to the average user. I laugh when I see people circle jerking about being better than twitter when in reality it was started by the same people and all it takes is someone with too much money and it'll be another fall-off story.
edit: I say this as someone who uses it, beats using shitter in it's festering decaying state.

You're mistaking motivation for ability. If you understand email, you can understand Mastodon.

I don't know. Lots of folks pointing out That Part Of Twitter (TPOT) also migrating over.
Meaning like the rationalist / effective altruism guys? Would have thought they'd be prone to sticking with Musk

Right up until you sit through his 6min speech on 1A. It’s like the goal is to turn all social media platforms into Twitter.
What a fucking lib take... See you on Mastodon after Dorsey fuck y'all over again
Even if dorsey is too busy sniffing his own farts bluesky is built on vc money just like twitter was. This is the same song and every one is just dancing to the same old hollow tune.
I'm positive at least some of the servers that house Lemmy and its FOSS sister networks are housed in VC companies. The amount of people who can support that data and the servers it resides on is small without Corps being in the mix.
We're not exactly winning over here on Lemmy or Mastodon. I've been a member of the Mastodon community for close to 6 years or so. It isn't a reasonable replacement for Twitter because (for what I used it for, which had nothing to do with Micro logging), it doesn't do what I need it to because the number of people I want to follow there are few and far between. Bands, book authors, local news networks, international news networks. I'm not likely to find out about school closings on Mastodon.
I get my school closings on mastodon already https://m.ai6yr.org/@nwsalbuquerque_bot try harder because all I'm hearing is capitalist jock riding and should do that in private.

Why?
The internet at large is still a cesspool.
The only difference is who is in control of it.
