The level of effort to move to mastodon is not that much more than moving the bluesky. I agree not letting perfect be the enemy of good but this is a situation where they could have done something substantially better with only slightly more effort.

Am I glad they left Twitter? Sure.

Is there anything wrong with bluesky? Not right now.

Even if they moved to a managed mastodon instance, it would have been better.

I'm on Mastodon, and while it's not much more effort to move to, it's certainly:

  • Less features

  • More complicated

  • Practically unheard of

  • Lacking in users (unsurprisingly this one is absolutely crucial)
