sure;y the main reason people don't want to leave twitter is cos they don't want to lose their audience and don't believe they will find them here. I think they are wrong (people - esp news orgs - will come to where the decision makers are), but it's still effort.

by audience I mean number of followers... I guess institutional accounts (such as news orgs/MPs) are less worried about ads/cyber bots/porn bots/racism as they are not there for fun or learning? for them it's a megaphone only.

◻️ I occasionally go over to Twix, while there suggesting e.g. to Peter Hitchens he might like to move to Bluesky. Though he probably wouldn't have quite so many posts to put straight here. He knows where his bread is buttered. Indeed worries a lot about his 'numbers'.

This part is kind of sad, because the megaphone news accounts are the most sorely missed here (IMO).

Twitter just has much wider reach internationally...Bluesky just seems so US/UK dominated.

International folks on Twitter are better walled off from the very US/UK-centric fascism focus. I think this is why BSky is the way it is.
