There's another wave of folks leaving #X/#Twitter, again. Two thoughts:
1) Almost no one is coming to Mastodon. It's all Bluesky, which is disappointing.
2) It's amazing the excuses folks make to avoid having to switch social platforms. I get it—I gave up 23k followers and some reputation when I abandoned Twitter. Still, the idea that it's okay to participate in a flawed platform and support its dangerous narcissistic owner just because you don't want to rebuild your network is really sad.
