Oh chooms, I've seen so many posts today with people "worrying" that users are migrating to Bluesky. Let me put it this way: just let them wander off, don't be upset about it. Sure, we're all thrilled when more people join the fediverse, but that's just how it goes—people come and go. And honestly, are they even the ones who want meaningful exchanges, or are they just chasing their dopamine fix from likes?

I've seen this happen so many times before, even back when Twitter was still Musk-free. There were always waves of users jumping ship to other social media platforms—does anyone remember Ello, Path, App.net, etc.? All investor-inflated social networks that are now long gone.

The same fate awaits Bluesky someday—a glossy, investor-driven social media platform that will eventually hit its breaking point, sell itself to AI companies, and quietly die while the executives walk away with pockets full of cash.

Mark my words.

The fediverse? It'll probably still be around as a niche.

@revengeday this unworrying is the beautiful reality of not needing to make profit and harvest data / ad impressions from users. It's nice :)
