It was really interesting to watch some nearly influencer-like left-leaning folks leave Twitter for Mastodon and then get really angry about people here responding to them in non-sycophantic ways...
Then they went to Bluesky and now they have everything they had on Twitter except the right-wing abuse (good) and they can also avoid critiques or questions from people to the left of them. Fine for them, glad they're happy, but interesting to note!
Just thinking out loud about this, so it's a ramble - as I still post on both of those other sites - but Twitter and Bluesky really do have the same culture - and that culture is the thing that's all wrong with the world now!
Hence why I love Mastodon so much, interesting people sharing interesting things and having discussions about it. It's what I always loved about online communities decades before Twitter, and it's what remains great about online communities.
