Bluesky is just a knock-off version of Mastodon that is for profit. It claims to be decentralized yet the only instance running on their AT Protocol is Bluesky. Plus I’ve heard they plan on having an algorithm based feed, which just sounds like exactly what I’m trying to avoid.
I’ve been on there for a couple weeks now. I think they will likely introduce ads at some point. But for now it’s a nice little ad free space.
As for the feeds, they just introduced custom feeds so you can pick and choose what feeds you want to see. All the feeds are open source as well so you can see the details of each feed, and make your own if you like.
Initially the only feed was What’s Hot which was posts with 12+ likes. Now I have 10 or so custom feeds I can switch between. It’s not perfect but it’s a step in the right direction. My big looming concern is how they will eventually monetize

But why use it over Mastodon?
I haven’t tried mastodon yet, I will at some point. BS has a good vibe so far. If that changes I’ll move on to something else
