"That's the same argument people made about Twitter. 'If it goes bad, we'll just leave.' We know how that played out."
Yeah, I left.
(And in fact I am wary of all social media.)

So it played very poorly, you lost personal data and most importantly, social connections, and acquired a weariness
Whereas if Bluesky went evil tomorrow only the “acquired a weariness” part would happen, given that it's straightforward to move to a new PDS and take the entirety of your personal data and social connections with it.
I very much think that going evil is not a switch that happens over night. There are always signs or leading indicators there. If Bluesky starts showing those signs, we will start putting in effort to de-risk the network. The dev community is strong
And the app view? You can take your data, can take everyone else’s that you follow?

I think it depends on person.
The only social connection i lost is a person who lives on mastodon now. The rest of people that matter to me are on bluesky now.
