in hindsight it turns out “anything but twitter” was worth switching for

That’s an interesting point and very true ha. I definitely am looking for a new community space but as someone who was extremely on twitter for idk 14 years im also not sure about expending energy on basically the same thing again

i like what Bluesky is doing but the product person in me wonders if “twitter but it’s not twitter” is ever going to be unique enough to convince people it’s worth switching
