  1. People who need to follow various government entities that are only on twitter and facebook.

For those people they should all contact the government agencies that are still on Twitter and demand they switch to Bluesky.

When is the last time you demanded a government agency do something that wasn't already their idea, and they did it

Or self host a mastodon server.

Bluesky is not a true alternative. Just recently there were news about them banning opposition accounts in Turkey.

Been using Mastodon for about two years now and never going back.

If people of your country is more likely to use Twitter, moving to Bluesky is not even realistic.

Also, for a lot of countries, moving to Bluesky is like moving from American controlled platform to the same American controlled platform.

I agree with the sentiment, but the action doesn’t do anything to address the immediate issue

It's legit applicable for people that have Twitter just for realtime earthquake warning.

At least its applicable for Indonesian users.
