And I just want to add some things. This is one of those things where people who use it and have a positive experience are going to maybe feel defensive, and I just want to be clear that I really don't have any stake in what choices you make, personally. This is my own rumination on a choice that I made and the resulting experience. I recognize that there are reasons why some people have a better time on apps like BlueSky than on Mastodon, or why for one reason or another they choose to remain on a platform that has a larger user base and is likely to bring them more benefit. I've done a lot of thinking about this, and I recognize that factors that lead us to make the choice to engage with these platforms. Do I agree with the underlying ethics of the platforms themselves, or the people who create them? Absolutely not. Do I sit here and declare them Absolutely Horrible and Off Limits? Also, no. Very few things in life require such a severe value judgement, and I hope if you read this you can recognize that I'm meditating on my own ethical conflict here and my own experience, and not yours.
