I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.

Of course, but if the most urgent priority is to get people off Twitter, then Bsky is a better alternative at the moment.

Hopefully at some point Mastodon and Keyforks will catch up on discoverability

It blows my mind that all these services announcing their leaving of X haven't spun up their own Mastodon instance.

social.transitchicago.com sounds just fine to me.

If you’re a company and you’re oblivious to ethical problems related to social media.

A platform with 20x the active userbase as the alternative is the obvious choice.

It's transit. Your users will go where you tell them to go.

Even better, the open APIs will allow them to build whichever portions they want into their own apps. Or they could adapt an existing, open license third party app into their own platform using 90% existing code.

It's easier for them to join a centralized platform like Bluesky, be it for the users count alone
