The only reason mastodon isn’t as popular as bluesky is because famous people got told to go there and not on mastodon.
Does that instance make people in the Western world feel comfortable when they visit it - especially mainstream normies… or even scientists
The ceo of twitter is a pedophile who advertise for political parties on a daily basis. The average normie use whatever platform is popular and it’s not mastodon because nobody is being paid or told to use it.
