I think present those pull factors along with a continued worsening of the other site, I'd be pretty bullish about this place: enough people moving over here would actually change the tone (which I personally find exceptionally off-putting and lacking in demographic- and viewpoint diversity).
Twitter/X's new terms have some people shook but the last big absent pull factor for this site is the existence of group DMs. Come on then @jackdodo.bsky.social

Great to see this follow-up to the systemically significant prices paper. Bringing good news: Many of the sectors most decisive for supply-driven inflation are 𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘰 the main inequality drivers. Meaning two birds, one stone!*

*For monetary policymakers open to sectoral price stabilization measures.
The affordability crisis is an inequality crisis. When prices spike in key sectors, it's not just inflation—it's a massive redistribution shock that hits poor households hardest.
