people with lots of good things to do in their lives have less time to post.
on platforms like twitter, this means that the posts are disproportionately made by people with unhappy and limited lives, who have too much invested in their status and image on social media, because that's who has time to post. this makes for an unpleasant environment and is also fertile ground for mobs, bullying etc.
after this most recent wave of migration, bluesky feels fairly pleasant, but that's not stable. lots of normal people just moved their accounts over and are still engaging. but they will become less active soon leaving only the "power users" who will make the site unpleasant again.
probably bluesky will once again become just as bad as pre-Elon Twitter was at its worst. however this would still be much better than the current situation on X, where at some point you will be exposed to people advocating rape and people celebrating the Holocaust, or other such horrible things, so I don't think people will move back to X the way they did last year.
