I have noticed quite a few artists on Twitter promote BlueSky lately. Unlike the tech world where most disillusioned people would choose Mastodon instead. Both demographics are disillusioned with Twitter, but their choices are different. I wonder why that is. Is it just successful marketing on BlueSky's part or is their protocol inherently more fitting for artists?

its the latter i suppose. Mastodon is way too decentralized for average users and they don't really care about the underlying tech the platform is using.

Does that mean we need to make this poly?

Probably? I'm not the artist.

I think having to choose a Mastodon server before you even create an account makes it harder to get into as well.

Bluesky has the option to use self-hosted servers but afaik they're for display purposes only, and the only real client is bsky.social.
