Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

I have a different take on this, while appreciating yours. I've studied how organizations and movements begin and develop. It takes setting yourself apart at the beginning and those passionate, sometimes crazy people, to build momentum. Only later does mainstream assimilation help. Not early.

Just very respectfully, I do not characterise this as a movement. We're using one social media platform over another. We may be doing it in part for political or ideological reasons, but I just don't think that makes us the Suffragettes, you know?

It's okay to see this differently. I definitely see patterns of collective behavior, small or large, as the basis of any organization or movement. Anything we do collectively requires a certain kind of thinking and coming together. But, maybe this is a different case. There are no set rules. :)
