Why, oh, why, Bluesky and not Mastodon
I think one of the biggest reasons is that the Fediverse is often a pain to get into and sometimes a pain to use.
Bluesky and Threads "just work."
Some people say it's marketing and in Threads' case I can believe it, but I haven't seen any example of large marketing campaign by Bluesky.
How is Bluesky easier to use when it's literally also federated? And you can just create an account on any Mastodon instance like mastodon.world or mastodon.social and start using it.
It may be easier because Bluesky already made the choice for you, you don't need to pick an instance, the default is Bluesky Social and that's it, if you want a different one you can search it or make one. It removes that tiny mental block of having to commit to a server you don't know if you will like.
