      Yeah, why would I use BlueSky when I could just use my favorite platform named Threads?

        Same here… even when Twitter was not even in the sights of fElon I found it to be super toxic. I signed up because “it was the best way to get the news” and left in about 4 days

      Because it isn’t just Twitter. Nobody can buy the network, the same way nobody can buy email.
