Then promote Bluesky. This one could succeed.
Bluesky is only marginally better. Just like every other startup that has not achieved a dominant position, if/when they reach critical mass they will become a rent-seeking player, just like every other VC-funded company.
Their protocol is open, but not really decentralized. It is very clear that they want to become a single global indexer of the whole social web.
Bsky will probably enshittify. But if the priority is to get people off Twitter, it's the most likely successful alternative short term.
Hopefully long term Mastodon and others will find a way to solve the content discoverability issue.
