People only move to Bluesky because they don't want to change their thinking (picking instances is hard!) and keep using "Twitter".
I can understand it. I was banned without reason from 3 of the top mastodon instances before even posting anything. Creating new accounts is a hassle, and it's easy to lose faith in the system when bans happen without reason and none of the instances cared to respond to my appeals. In heinsight, I'm sure the ban was due to my username looking like a hash, but I still find it crazy that the appeals were ignored.
Dqw4, I'll never forget that link.
