because bsky actually listened to their users and implemented features they asked for unlike mastodon who attacked migrators during the first twitter migration.

bsky also had a bunch of marginalised people - including trans people - as early adopters that helped shape their views on moderation.

The issue I have with this narrative is that the features migrators wanted already existed in the Fediverse, on Misskey, Friendica, Pleroma, Akkoma, etc. If anyone wanted to actually listen to those of us trying to point them to those options, things might have been a little different. But those voices were drowned out by the Mastodon circle jerk, and people didn't actually grok the whole federation thing well enough to understand that they could follow the same people from any of the different softwareseseses.

The fediverse isn't Mastodon, and we all do it a huge disservice by continuing to talk about it as if it were, even as we use a different fediverse platform.
