Curious :why Bluesky and not Mastodon? I would have thought that decentralization would be a better safeguard against Bluesky becoming Twitter after being successful...

Honest question: I left Twitter so long ago (I guess that I never got it) and am not really using Mastodon... so I think that I'm not the right people

Bluesky is much easier to use than Mastodon, particularly for non-technical folks. It’s also has an UI that looks a lot like Twitter from 2-3 years ago.
I feel like “much” is an exaggeration. In my day to day use, the only annoyance I regularly run into is having to tap an extra link or two in order to follow someone on a different network.
bluesky has ecosystem of tools build on protocol. for example Analytics tools, like https://www.graphtracks.com
