Jack Dorsey mis-managed Twitter for years and has not uttered one public peep against Musk, which means that he either agrees with Musk making him a page in the same book, or the other conclusion, that he remains the same bad manager he always was, and will run Bluesky the way he ran Twitter or how X is run today.
Mastodon has its own separate issues such as the dependence on capricious and potentially volatile server operators who aren't bound by corporate standards of accountability. I have never created a Mastodon or Bluesky account. I still have a Twitter/X account and do not feel the need to delete it. I am not a heavy user of X, I do find it of value.
I was singularly unimpressed a few weeks ago when I went looking on Mastodon to view the feed of someone who writes about technology and only technology.. but there was nothing.. I was mystified.. the Mastodon server was reporting that the account was "suspended". So, unless that's the error message returned by a user shutting down their account themselves, the operator strikes again for whatever petty political reason they may have conjured up.
Neither Mastodon nor Bluesky are worth investing time in.
