The people who use Mastodon are very different from the people who use Bluesky. The people who use BlueSky are the former unhinged left wing Twitter users of years past that gave the platform it's notoriety as being the most toxic platform on the internet. When Musk took over, Twitter's title as the worst platform remained the same, except he shifted the source of the toxicity from being left wing to being right wing. This led the unhinged left wing Twitter users to seek a clone that replicated the toxic environment that they once thrived in, and BlueSky just happened to be the one that lucked out.

The point is that the BlueSky people don't care about anything outside political tribalism. That's what drove them out of Twitter and it's what drove them to BlueSky. That makes them very different from Mastodon users who, for the most part, actually value things like privacy, security, freedom of the internet, ownership, and control. The people who use Mastodon are tech nerds, privacy activist, or niche interest groups that thrive in such a space like the crypto community. I feel like even if we streamlined the process and it easier for people to join, the BlueSky types still wouldn't have an interest in joining.
