Sadly, Mastodon had its shot during the pandemic and blew it. The non-tech savvy didn't understand how federation worked and they marketed themselves very poorly.

I agree, but there was also the problem of Mastodon has no marketing budget. Before Musk closed the sale on Twitter, they had 2 full time employees, IIRC.

But Bluesky is federated as well; why isn't that a problem for Bluesky either.
