With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option.

What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

Can BlueSky really be called decentralized when 99% of it is bluesky.social?

No, that's why I said it's technically decentralized.

They have 40 million users though, they focused on UX first, and will now hopefully not be dicks and actually become decentralized
