1) While the loss of ad spam is unfortunate, losing the ability to lie and censor dissidents can be devastating. The addition of community notes has been a thorn in the side of not just a pundit or a party head, but corporation that get noted for lying about shit.While possible, I think corpos will not go to Bluesky en masse for one very key reason: the blocklists. You can bet that every corporate account that goes active there will 100% end up on an anti-spam/anti-corporate blocklist. And given the composition of the site, you can bet a large majority of the users will sub to this blocklist by default.
Why migrate to a site where 90% of your content is likely blocked when Twitter still exists and has a far greater reach?
2) They aren't thinking rationally. We are talking about people that literally fucking cried because trump won. The entire party is in full panic mode, and like a cornered beast it's lashing out in every direction. The factions in these companies are pushing a bluesky move for now, but once those blocklists do happen there's likely to be a scism. Or they try to pressure the team at bluesky directly.
