so while I'd love for UK gov't to abandon all big tech platforms, I'm also a realist and I understand that starting point should be getting into Mastodon or at least Bluesky properly.

I also find it ironic that, while I am grateful she posted about russia's attack on Ukraine and her pro-Ukraine stance, she complains about Bluesky being shit. did you really think that Bluesky, which is 50% centralised platform at best, fares significantly better?
