I'm sorry, but if your response to people complaining about your favorite platform is "ah, you don't understand the vision, you're missing the point, you're just confused, your expectations are wrong, let me help educate you," this is not a very compassionate or helpful attitude!
It is entirely possible that some folks have needs that you don't consider. Maybe some people understand perfectly and just disagree! If you treat folks like their stance—on something as personal as how they connect socially—must necessarily be the result of ignorance, don't be surprised when they feel insulted and trash talk you elsewhere.
this on top of the fact that bluesky and even twitter are already relatively niche compared to what most people use to communicate with others (instagram in particular, but also tiktok, fb messenger, whatsapp, discord to a certain extent, etc). Twitter already felt like a combo of the Place Where Everyone Is and the Niche Hidden Secret of The Internet to, like, most people.
this isn't even getting into stuff like userscripts. if you even know what that is, you are in a minority of minorities. CSS crimes posts are cool but a) they're an extreme minority of posts here and b) are not easily user replicable.
social media, even this, is a time waste and time sink. it is not anything else but a holding pattern that can be done creatively. as ive said before: most people's average time on any social media site is scroll, scroll, scroll, and don't post. Social media is media and any sort of way of marketing a platform where the empasis is placed on, like, "doing posts" rather than "seeing posts made by others" misses the point of why people use these things
And, yes, most of the time i go on cohost i don't post either. i scroll, and look, and laugh at some stuff, and log off. it works for me, but it works for me in merely the same ways that other social media time sinks do, in the way that my algorithmically generated YouTube Content Mush™ does, in the same way that a tv station you're too lazy to get up and grab the remote does
