Does it really matter? People may whine, but the reality is Bluesky users aren't going anywhere regardless. They already left X-Twitter and clearly don't view Mastodon as a viable alternative.
I've found that once I'm nomadic I'm more likely to stay nomadic. One friend of mine we went through 3 other platforms in maybe 2 years before settling down on our current comms platform. So once you've gathered you're group of people you told you're leaving Twitter, it's not much more to tell them you're leaving again

Vibe coding has a bad reputation for a reason. It's not happening in a vaccum.
It's just a moral panic. Caring about tools other people use is very stupid. Even worse is pretending the tools dont work.
I think there is some amount of moral panic, but that's pretty much a factor of the hype.
When you filter both out, you're left with limited added function and a non-negligible number of problems that arise from it.
