Please, let's not do this. Lets just enjoy sites that aren't toxic without making them toxic by written articles with headlines like this.

I suspect it will only because every single furry on YouTube seems to be trying to get the entire fandom to move from Twitter to BlueSky. You know we run the internet.

As long as it doesn't become Twitter I don't care if it beats it.
Bummer that isn’t mastodon but any inconvenience to musk is appreciated
I say this as someone who likes fediverse microblogging (Mastodon, MissKey, etc) it will never be Mastodon. Mastodon and its maintainers are staunchly against all the things that would make it a viable replacement to Twitter.

Actually not a bummer in my opinion, let people sort into different platforms based on their interests like we used to do with forums.
A fragmented internet is a better internet
I somewhat agree, but it's not going to happen. If Bluesky wins this battle, they're just going to be the dominant platform. It's not going to spread out. It's just going to migrate. A federated alternative would at least be spread out by design, though connected still.
A fragmented internet is a better internet

But it's not fragmented. Mastodon is still the odd "vegan" option while BlueSky is becoming the main Twitterlike platform. Mastodon is still coming out the other end mostly the same.
Yeah, and that’s a good thing specially for the reason I just mentioned

Both are terrible
Bluesky is a trap
Nah bluesky is great. This "trap" conspiracy theory is ridiculous.
Well, comparing to Twitter.. you can use their API, BlueSky is open-source and you can partially self-host. A lot better but you also could very likely be right about it being a trap.

Elaborate?
