Don't get why there has to be a beef. I think Bluesky is shaping up to have more political discussion, which is my main bag, so I'm doing Bluesky. Wonder where the friction is coming from?
Mastodon has a loud subset of users prone to hyperbole and drama, especially when it comes to the inevitability of federation with commercial social media platforms.
Agreed re Mastodon's cultural flaws, although Bluesky has plenty too. For me it's about where the political gossip settles (I'm a politics junkie), and I'll deal with the rest.
Bluesky's current setup not amplifying idiots feels promising to me.
God knows how they're going to monetise it though!
