You don't need to choose a server with bsky, that's it. It's just one big blob of everyone where no one really cares what kind of content or how often you post.

With Mastodon, you need to pick a server, and then there's funny things like "oh, you haven't posted for a while, we're blocking your account" or concerns that the server you chose may decide you're not fitting. That and mastodon.social wasn't available to register for a while as I recall.

Add to that the fact that your instance may not be federated with whoever you're trying to share stuff to. Meanwhile with bsky it's just "do you have bsky yes or no".

People care about ease of use way more than whether it's corporate or not.

โ€œoh, you havenโ€™t posted for a while, weโ€™re blocking your accountโ€

Never heard of any mastodon instance doing that

I've had my accounts blocked like that a few times when Mastodon was relatively new. I guess it's an instance-specific thing?

I don't remember the exact instance any more, since I never went back there, but mastodon.social doesn't seem to do that.

It's instance specific. I've had a semi abandoned account in one of the NSFW instances since 2022, posted one or two comments, forgot it, remembered about it in 2024 and still logged in.

I know some instances will cull accounts that are 6+ months old with 0 posts, but that's a different thing, too.
