It is certainly that, but also that bluesky feels like home to twitter users. They do the best job of running a twitter clone that feels seamless to join and use. My SO is not techy whatsoever, maybe even what you'd call a "normie" and they are thrilled to be on bluesky having been an avid twitter user. Mastodon unfortunately just doesn't cater to the same or widest audience.

    Really?

    Because I can't agree. Bluesky is, weirdly, geared around building up custom "queues", and the default queue, called "Discover" has some really niche stuff in it. This is very much so not like the usual Twitter method, and is way less immediate for generating a dashboard with valuable content than Twitter's "Just follow a bunch, the algorithm with add in the gaps".

    Like right now the third post ok Discover is a Bara Furry artist essentially advertising his porn.

    Bara Furry Porn. The OPPOSITE of mainstream.

    I find the app very off putting every time I open it.
