Serious question, why is any non-nazi posting on twitter?

  1. Non-Westerner that never have or realized alternative platform exist.
  2. Artist that dependant on mainstream social media reach. (some artists already have 100K+ followers there, fedi also have limited reach due to instance blocking, e.g. you're on Mastodon.art and want to reach Japanese audience (mainly misskey.io, but t was defederated on most of Western instance.)
  3. People with social network bubble outside Westernsphere, they only have exclusively local feed on their Twitter.
  4. People outside Westernsphere that already tried fediverse, but moving back as fediverse is still Western-centric or does not have their own community on feidverse.
  5. Community that does not have monetary power to invest on their own fedi instance.

  1. People who need to follow various government entities that are only on twitter and facebook.

For those people they should all contact the government agencies that are still on Twitter and demand they switch to Bluesky.

Or self host a mastodon server.

Bluesky is not a true alternative. Just recently there were news about them banning opposition accounts in Turkey.

When is the last time you demanded a government agency do something that wasn't already their idea, and they did it

Been using Mastodon for about two years now and never going back.

I agree with the sentiment, but the action doesn’t do anything to address the immediate issue

If people of your country is more likely to use Twitter, moving to Bluesky is not even realistic.

Also, for a lot of countries, moving to Bluesky is like moving from American controlled platform to the same American controlled platform.
