I think a lot of people were sticking around to follow election news and try to effect the conversation, and are bailing now that it's over in hopes of building up bluesky by the next one.

    and try to effect the conversation,

    And these people are insane. Elon has total control over the narrative, and the people that believe they can "throw sand in the gears" with some quippy xeets are delusional.

    At least they're moving, but fucking Christ; far too many people have main character syndrome.

    And then wait for the next right-wing psychopath to buy up that one? You can't jump off Twitter to another privately held platform and not expect the same to happen there sooner or later.

    They think that the problem is Musk, because he's the proximate cause. You can't expect people who are uneducated about this stuff to make a systemic analysis, research decentralized alternatives, and then decide to go to Mastodon or whatever.

    If they were that educated on the issue, they would've left X a long time ago.
