My major reason for using it is how open the platform is. I run a community project that involves posting pictures to multiple social media sites at once. Posting to Twitter was fine up until Elon's takeover broke a bunch of things. My API access got turned on and off repeatedly for unknown reasons. Checking the Twitter forums showed that this was happening to other developers as well with little response from the team there.

Bluesky on the other hand has been open first. You can now host your own Personal Data Server (PDS) which means if you ever want to post to the network you are basically never blocked from doing so.

I kept posting on Twitter manually (along side automatic posts to Mastodon, Bluesky, and Threads) because people were there but with this latest shift in interest having to post manually is a pain so I'm dropping Twitter.
