It seems that it costs more than what I pay for internet access in order to independently communicate with people using Bluesky, so the license used with a git repository doesn't make it much more likely that I'll use it: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/

I have heard about certain creators disliking Bandcamp and wanting to not use it anymore, but I don't know why that is.
My main suggestion is to start, and to start earlier rather than later. If you have an email account you don't like, every time you express that it's associated with you means you'll have to make one more update in order to completely switch.
I decided to switch around Black Friday when there was a discount for a paid subscription, and then to try to avoid using my old email account unless I saw a website reference it (like if I had to log in or specifically check for an email).
I feel a lot more comfortable using email than I used to (although I still try to avoid using it), so switching has improved my quality of life overall.

I haven't listened to this recently, but I know that Forehead Fables Podcast had an interview with John McAfee shortly before they died: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dajjuH4LFjY&list=PL0AyYv4PjzJ6vGxDjrfzSbWTj3Vgjd4mh&index=119
