You can’t convince people to move to a new network for ideological reasons. A few will; most won’t. The only driver is giving them something new that they want and can’t get anywhere else.

I mean you say that and you’re not wrong but also every single person on BlueSky is here for ideological reasons.

Can I ask why they are here rather than Twitter then?

I think that’s a bad question? It goes both ways, why would they be on Twitter?

Well I mean the reason they would be here is likely politics or people. And if it’s the people then those people are here because of politics. Thats my point.
