I've got an idea as to why.

I went to mastodon.social and see a Linux meme, some heavy political commentary, and a bunch of posts about mastodon being better than Twitter.

I then went to bluesky.app and see some political riffing, cute animals, a comic, some jokes, a company, and even Don Lemon.

The average person checking them both out for the first time, mastodon is nerd shit and Bluesky is normal shit.

I've tried to stick with mastodon for a while and after using it for months, your description of checking it out is STILL what my feeds look like. That's all there seems to be on Mastodon.

Feels like deciding in 2010 between Twitter and Reddit in some ways...
