You vastly overestimating the average person's willingness to learn new things
It's not about learning, it's inertia.
Bluesky is easier to use than Mastodon, but still doesn't have the same level of popularity as Twitter. Sports and entertainment for instance, are still mostly happening on Twitter.
need to make enough noise that even with reddit trying to supress it and deleting removing and shadown banning people still learn of the alternative.
I say let them stay blissfully ignorant. They have the right to that choice. It's the above average people that matter. The ones still capable of critically thinking, that do not rely on 'one-line zingers' (i.e. 69, nice; that's what she said; and my axe; etc) and inside jokes for dopamine hits. Quality > quantity.
"the above average" lmao You're not special because you use the leftist app.
