It has a "chicken or egg" problem. There are better alternatives, except many don't use them because their userbase is still on Xitter, and said userbase don't want to move away from Xitter because their faves are still there. I deleted it from my phone, but I keep my account in case I need to look up something there, or to not get my identity stolen and exploited.

Don't discount the FOMO factor as well. It's what kept me on Reddit.

Absolutely. Journalists post the latest news. Stuff they don't report on trends. Maybe you'll miss something big if you leave Twitter! That's the thinking anyway.

Bluesky has limited federation active already, planning to enable full federation soon (they want mod tooling to be more robust before they do)

Pretty nice place. The user configurable moderation system with 3rd party labeler services and more is quite cool and it's working even better than hoped (but we'll need to see how it scales)

There's a bridge in development -not associated with the project- that should bridge @Protocol and ActivityPub.
