One of the things I really like about Mastodon is that I can curate my feed to show only what I am interested in by following hashtags and/or people and muting those people whose posts I don't want to see. There's no hidden algorithm controlling my feed, pushing controversial posts towards me and other stuff. So I don't get why would you need the invite only feature of bluesky control your feed?
Because it is harder to get people I know on board to mastodon than to bluesky. I don't want too many random people on my feed. Most of my feed consists of people I do know and actually interact with. Mastodon doesn't have as much shitposting as I would like and takes awhile for it to get situated to the point I ended not using it. Why bother going to mastodon when I have my friends on bluesky.
OK understood why you prefer bluesky.
