Bluesky might be far from ideal, but I'm still glad to see researchers aren't playing along Musk and his dog's bullshit.

But it's such a waste of effort to move to a platform that is heading in the exact same direction. It takes so much effort to get people to switch. Why do they insist on using something else that will eventually be just as bad?
Yes, it is a waste of effort. But as my grandma used to say, "a lazy person works twice" - those people can't be arsed to learn how to use platforms more resistant to this sort of enshittification, so they keep migrating.
Even then, it's still better that they're doing this silly dance and migrating again than sticking to that Xithole.
