The real question: How many of the well know personalities will abandon Mastodon for this? Mastodon has a surprising number of famous personalities. Many popular open source developers live there. Lots of well known people in math/science (Terry Tao, etc). Lots of authors (Greg Egan, Neil Gaiman, etc). Lots of open source orgs. Will they be willing to move networks yet again? Twitter made them unhappy. Will Mastodon be so poor (and Bluesky more superior) to get them to move again? Live and die by network effects.

> Live and die by network effects. If I have my facts straight, they have gone from 2M to 5M users since they opened to the public just 17 days ago. And btw, using Neil Gaiman as an example, he is prolific on Bluesky. He has 861 posts on Mastodon, vs 4.5k on Bsky. He seems to have already made the move to a large extent. https://bsky.app/profile/neilhimself.neilgaiman.com https://bsky.app/profile/neilhimself.neilgaiman.com https://mastodon.social/@neilhimself https://mastodon.social/@neilhimself
