I'd say mastodon is a better choice, mostly so that you're not beholden to yet another profit-focused tech corporation. I'm sure Bluesky is fine right now, but once they have their userbase they will shift to monetization - and you may regret letting yourself become entrenched in the world they control. They're not doing it for your benefit.
That said, I've come to understand that a lot of people kind of like having their content feed controlled by others. When they only see what they ask for, they get bored. So I'm expecting Bluesky to always be bigger than Mastodon.
mastodon blew it by attacking people who had legitimate concerns about the service during the first migration.
Mastodon isn't a person. So I don't know who you are talking about when you say 'mastodon was attacking people'. I certainly didn't see anything like that. Perhaps you have an example link for context?
