6/6 As for Bluesky and Threads, I am present on both of those platforms, but it’s “wait and see” in both cases. Bluesky is still in basically a private beta (I have 5 invites currently, but frankly I don’t see much demand for them); until it opens up, I can’t really take it seriously. Threads is similar, as it has promised fediverse support. But, as with Musk and X, I also don’t want to hand control of my socials to one very powerful person (Zuck). So, I’m committed to Mastodon.

bluesky is a joke
why did you do a 6 part post btw?
on mastodon you hand your socials to what ever rando owns your instance

While I appreciate your thoughtfulness, those are all just reasons you are not doing the principled thing.
Maybe leaving X impacts a tech journalist more than me, I have no idea, that's not how principles work.
Musk is a fascist, we don't use fascist platforms.
nostr:npub1alqk9gq85d6zlzvjwmetzpch796as3cjzjugeghnu6e53cre5lnqvtmnj6 Thanks for sharing that. And yes, I still see some activity on X that isn’t yet elsewhere. Many of the people I regularly engaged with have made the move over to Mastodon, but a few remain committed to using X, which is unfortunate. Like you, I am also on BlueSky and Threads as more of an observer. Here on Mastodon is where I spend the most time and energy.
