The level of effort to move to mastodon is not that much more than moving the bluesky. I agree not letting perfect be the enemy of good but this is a situation where they could have done something substantially better with only slightly more effort.
Am I glad they left Twitter? Sure.
Is there anything wrong with bluesky? Not right now.
Even if they moved to a managed mastodon instance, it would have been better.
The distance between ‘seeking perfection’ and ‘lowering personal standards’ can be far. Let’s make sure one isn’t leaving an abusive relationship for another one.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good
This is my biggest issue with discourse on here or Reddit. If something isn’t literally perfect it’s treated as being absolutely horrible.
I’ll take minor improvements here and there over sticking to something awful and endlessly complaining about it.

I’m on Mastodon, and while it’s not much more effort to move to, it’s certainly:
Less features
More complicated
Practically unheard of
Lacking in users (unsurprisingly this one is absolutely crucial)
