Not the OP, but mastodon is open source and not corporately controlled. That seems pretty important when whoever controls the platform can make decisions about what content is surfaced to a user. If I’m the government or a politician I want to make sure I have a direct line to my constituents.
I use both these days, I don’t think the user interface is particularly confusing for mastodon, but I think what bluesky has over it is you don’t have to choose a server, and the types of users and stuff they’re posting on bluesky has a certain appeal. (For example all the funny accounts I used to follow on twitter went to bluesky)
