Anyone still using twitter should be considered far right,

Changing platforms can be a death sentence for an entrenched artist. Also, Threads is a miserable experience, Mastodon's decentralized nature makes it confusing to navigate (especially for the olds), and BlueSky simply doesn't have enough content to engage people at the same level.

It's ironic, but a big chunk of the trans community is effectively stranded on Twitter purely thanks to decision paralysis. They all want to leave but nobody has enough sway to send them in the same direction.

Maybe if Elon can get himself banned in a few more countries. BlueSky got 3 million brazilian new users practically overnight last week.

As seen with Tumblr decay, and then Twitter, I think proprietary platforms will never be a safe haven por LGBT communities.
