   They're not using BlueSky.
   
   Here's who I see using BlueSky: "that guy". We all know "that guy", he/she/it sits on big social media websites crying day in day out about what say Twitter did. Oh no Elon did this, oh no Elon did that, and whatnot.
   
   They're 100% hooked on Twitter, and they get the initiative to try something else. The problem is, at the core they're normies or lemmings. If they're not normies, their friends are, and unfortunately their friends are also literally on the level of women in Mac commercials. You know, like with Mumble, "why don't this work fuck this I wanna go back to Skype/Discord".
   
   But here's the thing; if we aren't here because of our Linux autism we're here because we either would get banned from Twitter for posting what we want, our friends got banned, or we would get harassed and doxed for posting on Twitter (see Zamii070 for an example of the Tumblr Mob that moved to Twitter).
   
   They're on Bluesky/Mastodon because their ghoulish tech CEO got replaced with the wrong internet daddy. They're not on there because they want freedom of speech or to talk to banned users or for a place away from Big Tech, they're on these sites because of pent up anger against someone. They have no reason to use these sites for long because they can easily go back.
   
   It gets worse; any technical barrier, any issue, and their friends will want to go back to what is comfortable for them. It'll take Twitter turning to total shit (downtimes and massive ban waves) for them to leave, and look Discord has ban waves these days en masse and do normies give a shit? No, they want to be where their friends and ecelebs are.
   
   So inevitably these sites die off, can't find funding, and close down. Their users will always come crawling back to Twitter, because all their friends are there and maybe there's a chance they can get retweets.
   
   YouTube or FurAffinity are also good substitutes for this analogy because they have the same issue. Nobody uses alternatives to YouTube unless they're uploading anti-government/narrative videos or "naming the Jew" or uploading edgy humor. Nobody uses alternatives to FurAffinity and other art sites of that nature unless they're uploading cub/loli. If your "alternative site" doesn't have the "bad people" using it it'll be dead and that's the reality of things. Even if it's as a Big Tech rugpull where they build up users and then ban the "problem ones" when there's a scandal like Discord did.
