What aren't they joining Mastodon and Lemmy? Or even Threads?
Bluesky is a lot easier to use vs fediverse stuff, discovering stuff is also easier in my experience vs mastodon.
the problem is its easier to use because there is virtually no federation. Ive yet to see a user thats not from the flagship bsky.social instance
Mastodon or Lemmy, because you would have to choose an instance and a client. Threads, because why would you?
Choice is a good thing, though.
Choice is an irritating speed bump to people who don't care to choose, which unfortunately is most of them.
What's good for freedom is bad for ease of use.
agree, but for some reason many people don’t seem to think that way
I'll use Bluesky before I use Threads. I don't want to get sucked further into the Zuckerborg.
Do not use threads
For me there weren't enough people on Mastodon in my hobby to make it worthwhile.
I've been stupidly trying to convince them to use Mastodon on the same thread on reddit yesterday.
Some prefer the interface, but I guess the real issue is what stopping them from selling it to another Musk like they did with Twitter.
