You're mixing up your problem with Twitter and normal humans' problem with Twitter, get out of your echo chamber a bit, it might help.
Try enlightening us, o wise one.
Regular people don't care about billionaires or their data or decentralization, the only reason they care about Musk in particular is the fact that he openly supports and finances a fascist, as long as Graber doesn't do the same, people won't give a crap about what he does with BlueSky just like they don't give a crap about using other platforms like Instagram even though Zuckerberg is a moron.
If you don't like weird billionaires running the show and pushing political misinformation, don't use Facebook.
Threads was awash in bullshit "hacked at the tabulation level" election conspiracy theories following the election. It may not be MAGA, but it's still making people stupid.
Meta even has Project 2025 people on staff helping run Threads: https://www.intomore.com/the-internet/why-did-meta-just-hire-this-ron-desantis-approved-project-2025-alum/
Stop using social media run by billionaires of you're tired of getting fucked over by the ruling class.
"I know this one billionare is a sociopath, but the others are great, there won't happen anything bad in the future, I'm sure!"
Normal people don't mind the billionaires as long as they're not intentionally pushing fascist content. They want a product that they don't need to understand to be able to use.
