I hadn’t thought about that… when there was an exodus last year or 2022 I think? Mastodon received a lot of users and mastodon.social temporarily closed sign ups, probably because of this.
It’s also a lot more convenient and easier switch to BlueSky, official app very Twitter-like web UI also Twitter-like, it certainly provides a more convenient switch to people who just don’t to stress on the smallest things, also just create account with a default instance pre-selected (which a lot of those migrating there are confused why usernames contain the instance after the username).
Pixelfed does a lot better in those terms comparing to what it aims to be an alternative of (Instagram) than Mastodon does with too many choices most people will be lost even more the people who know very little about tech and don’t even know the difference of centralized and decentralized.
I’ve came across this post on Mastodon (from another Lemmy post) which is very concerning though… but again, these people won’t care about that, it’s all about convenience for most of them and BlueSky is doing it well.
