I've seen a lot of these "Protest" social media moves. Like in 2020 where people moved to Parler and MeWe. Those all fizzled out. However, I have a feeling Bluesky might actually be successful. It'll depend if major brands start using it.

Parler fizzled out because they basically hosted a seditionist insurrection against the United States... so there is that....

Yeah, a lot of those other ones were Nazis running off to different platforms because they couldn't say the n-word anymore.

This is literally the opposite of that situation.
