Network effect is real but not insurmountable, that's why the migration from twitter is happening in the first place. The question is why did the first movers decide on Bluesky instead of Mastodon? And the answer is probably just because there is a more 1-to-1 mapping to twitter with less focus on confusing federation and following procedures. Now that it's had such an influx, yeah, the network effect is going to strengthen its lead.
