Mastodon user here since 2017. Sure, Bluesky requires less learning for those who come from other centralized platforms and nobody has to deal with fediblock drama over there. Some may also point to Bluesky's users being less tech-savvy and less prone to dogpiling on tech companies for their poor decisions, which I don't believe is completely true. Something I do love about Mastodon though is I don't need any mods or admins to make decisions for me. I can calmly stay in an instance I trust and filter everything, every single small bit, to fit my own criteria. I get others think this is bad moderation and wish to depend on third parties to answer their reports, clean the servers and "do justice" but I prefer to make those decisions myself and let others make theirs.
a lack of moderation is how you get 4chan and x
That's a huge oversimplification. UX design and a careful selection of settings and features, for instance, have a big role in that regard. It's not what you prohibit but what you incentivize too.
Both are pretty heavily moderated.
Yup, any client will allow you to block accounts or instances but noooo the other instance's admins must do it because someone somewhere somehow got micro-offended at something!
