Because stepping away from the most popular communications platform is like handing your enemy the high ground.
There are far more independent voters on twitter than any other platform.
I hate what Elon is doing, but if minds are going to be changed, it’s not going to happen on BlueSky.

Good choice. There are NO minds being changed on that twisted corrupt platform. In my opinion people with large followings stay because of ego, not activism. It’s a disgusting platform

Dr. King wrote in 1963, “Few people realize that even our authentic channels of information—the press, the platform and in many instances the pulpit—do not give us objective and un-biased truth. … Our minds are constantly being invaded by legions of half-truths, prejudices and false facts.”

This presumes something false:
That social media platforms are actually a digital marketplace of ideas wherein robust debate occurs that changes the minds of those so engaged.
Horseshit.
Shards of rhetoric turn no one. This platform can gather, rally and encourage the sentient and sane. That's it.

It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Bluesky has been a net negative for US politics. They corralled everyone on the left into a little glass fishbowl where they shout at one another & everyone else ignores them. Meanwhile, all the pols & institutions stayed on X & are being dragged farther right.

I firmly believe we STILL have to be political on this platform.
BlueSky cannot be a retreat from politics and confrontation.
It is only by passionately and assuredly nailing our colours to the mast, albeit in a civilised and respectful fashion, do we even begin to start to change hearts & minds.

"harassing people in general has never changed their mind" is a wild thing to post in defense of Jesse Singal, whose entire platform has been built on harassing people to try and change their minds (for the worse, to be perfectly clear)
Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

Dude, I LOVE the AEW wrestlers and talent who are on BlueSky. Thank you for being good people and speaking your minds.
Not only human to human, but y'all have a platform and influence among fans, and it's wonderful that you use it for kindness, empathy, and a proper amount of concern and outrage.

James Carville, in his NYT Op-ed, says it's time for Democrats to "embrace a sweeping, aggressive, unvarnished, unapologetic, and altogether unmistakable platform of pure economic rage. The most populist platform since the Great Depression."
