Twitter didn't gain relevance by being the biggest platform, it gained relevancy through the quality of the content and individuals. The main goal for everyone here should be to encourage global defender, media, and establishment accounts to transition to #BlueSky. That'll provide legitimacy.

I found this such a telling line from Kim Leadbeater in her @politicshome.bsky.social interview on assisted dying. I imagine there’s some minorities who won’t be reassured by the idea they must just “put faith” in the health and legal system.
