    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.
