I find it rather strange you say this. Bluesky was on the receiving end of a major artist exodus from Twatter. With them came all the progressive ideals that they're known for. A lot of gay, trans, and otherwise queer individuals who are either artists themselves or follow artists they feel safe with. Certainly not the kind of people who are satisfied with the status quo.

Beyond that, the fact that Bsky came up out of nowhere and ate Mastodon's lunch around that time just reeks of hostility to me.
