And when that DOES happen, when you're no longer able or safe to post "fuck Elon Musk" on Bluesky, you'll be looking for an alternative. And there'll be the droves of people who say "choosing an instance is too hard on mastodon" and "there's just nerds on mastodon"

No, if all of your anti-oligarch, and anti-nazi efforts are done on the platforms that these people control, or are _trying_ to control, of course you're wasting your energy.
You will be silenced, shadowbanned, restricted, etc
And while Bluesky is sort of okay right now, remember:

Bluesky is OWNED by crypto-bros, and other million dollar VCs
Whether Bluesky will enshitify isn't an "if," it's a question of "when"

Which is circular self-defeating nonsense. You want Mastodon and ActivityPub to be better and not just the bunch of nerds you think it is?
Fuckin JOIN and MAKE it better!
Or keep moving to the next billion dollar app that promises everything and delivers almost nothing.

The reason ActivityPub has been around for multiple decades, and Mastodon's been around since 2016 without interference from billionaire fuckos, is because it's maintained BY THE PEOPLE
And if you are a people, that want it to be different ...

Sitting around on Bluesky pissing and moaning about how you wish it was different, instead of just going there and making it different, is ridiculous, dude

Also, "you can't post your way out of fascism" is exactly something a liberal who's never done anything impactful in their lives, would say
