Yeah, this describes my experience so far. I really want to like it here, but so far it's been an effort.
I am using Mastadon more, hopefully with time we see a similar level of polish. However, even there it don't see a dent in Twitter.

I have no idea what's going on with Bluesky, but mastodon is... fine? It's not twitter and never will be.
This doesn't mean Lemmy doesn't need a bit of work, though, I don't think anyone would deny that. I don't think they've had quite the pressure to triage issues like they do now, so a decent list of priorities is probably emerging.
I'm tempted to try to help, but I'm (generously) a rust novice. I worry I'll waste their time with bad PRs.
Bluesky is in beta, it isn't even out yet. But somehow it has already suffered a fate?
New things like Mastodon, Bluesky, and Kbin don't have to kill the current things in order to be successful. We don't have to rule the world, we don't have to be perfect on day 1.
I think the biggest thing probably tempering Bluesky at the moment is a queue that is 3+ months at a time to actually get in. It's creeping close to ~6 on my end and still nothing.
I still intend on swapping, but most people are going to lose interest in that period of time and just stay on Twitter.
Or whatever the Meta Twitter replacement ends up being.
Also, both Barbie and Oppenheimer have been box office flops!
Yeah, Mastodon's going pretty strong. I don't really get what the message here is supposed to be.
"I, a tech writer, am not using it"?
'I'm not using it nor are the people I surround myself with therefore it is a failure.'
A lot of people think that unless it's a humongous smashing success instantly, then it's a complete and utter failure.
