Bsky is owned by a transphobe, and funded by venture capital. Also from what I've heard they have the ability to ban anyone on any instance of bsky, not just the flagship one, I might be wrong on that one though.
Mastodon has its problems, but there's a scale to it. I personally don't care for the Mastodon software much, my own non-lemmy fedi account is on Friendica, but still.
There are other UIs available for Mastodon. It depends on the instance
Oh, there definitely are other UIs available. I've used a lot of them, and I do have a mastodon account. It just doesn't have a lot of base features I like, plus Friendica let's you do weird things like following RSS feeds, and posting from RSS feeds, natively, also I prefer the way replies are shown there, and I haven't seen any mastodon clients that show them that way
