I'm on both and Mastodon is missing (at least in any easy to use way) most of the features that make Bluesky such a good destination:

  • instant add subscribe lists
  • subscribable block lists
  • custom feeds/subscribable algorithms
  • keyword/topic blocks
  • nuclear block where you never see the blocked person again
  • optional discover feed
  • DM preferences

All these things (and more I'm sure I'm forgetting), make Bluesky very quick to get started with and very powerful for honing your feeds to be exactly how you want and free of harassment and trolling.

I am still trying with Mastodon, but it's really slow going and I can fully understand why people wouldn't bother. After a year I am way behind where I was in a week with Bluesky.
