Good user verification
Add lists
Block lists
Subscribable topic feeds
Configurable algorithms
These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It’s simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation. Getting a good feed up and running doesn’t take more than an hour or two. It’s basically possible now on Twitter and it’s very difficult on Mastodon.
Yes, its federation is more or less bullremoved, but for most users, that feature is a distant priority when compared to the rest.
