I've been saying now for a while Bluesky is going to win, and it's easy to predict why. Mastodon has the completely wrong approach, its features are certainly interesting but the whole problem with it is most people are having trouble figuring out how it works and while they've produced a lot of content to help people figure things out they've forgotten it's supposed to be intuitive for most people. Bluesky has the same federated features, but it was smart enough to hide it under an intuitive and by now Familiar UI/UX. It's really not a good sign that there's increasing amounts of educational content explaining how to use Mastadon, it means they don't get the desperate need to simplify it so anyone can use it, ya'll who berated me that Simplicity is it's own form of Genius had a point. I might not like that point but, It's why Bluesky is going to win this fight.
