What do you think the millions of people flocking to a new service as refugees would do?

Do you think George Takei or Flavor Flav care about federation and instances, or did they just see that Bluesky works similar to twitter and make accounts.

Most of the people joining are going to use the default recommended instance because those people aren't joining out of technical interest.

I did it. The difference is that I eventually realized my error and moved elsewhere.

I was telling OP that they have the power to decide which instance they are on and that the slowness that they are complaining about is BECAUSE of the instance they chose.
