1. Most tech people are on Mastodon, resulting in much more interesting content and conversations.

2. Mastodon’s model of decentralization, despite its many flaws, is better and more sustainable than Bluesky’s. This is especially true in today’s political and legal climate (US–EU split, various age-verification laws, …).
