"I’m not on Mastodon because there’s nobody there, there’s not enough users to make it succeed, my whole community is on Twitter and don’t want to migrate and… hey… I now have a Bluesky account! Please follow me on Bluesky, it’s very cool, it belongs to a billionaire but is decentralised. Or at least, the billionaire promises us it will be, which is cool."

I think there's still a silver lining, I'm sure the second it's opened up (at the protocol level not registrations) it'll be bridged in. Given I'm on Nostr replying to ActivityPub, I think more protocols that interact with each other brings a lot of value across the board and if some people prefer AT (for the protocol's technical side or just because of BlueSky) it won't lead to fragmentation like in a centralized platform.
