What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon? (lemmy.zip)

What made everybody move from a corporate social media platform to another corporate social media platform instead of the fediverse?

After all, the Fediverse and Activitypub is much more mature than Bluesky and the copycat AT protocol or Threads and ... whatever they use.

The fediverse has many micro blogging implementations outside of mastodon if you don't like their featureset (and they federate with each other, unlike bluesky). The only features I couldn't find are those that contributed to making Twitter the dystopian toxic space that it is.

Using another ActivityPub-based interface is a LOT to ask for many users. They want a simple to pronounce name, they can stick in their browser's universal bar and be on a sign-up page in less than 3 clicks without making any more choices.

Well I am speaking about users who may be picky about mastodon's features. If someone is picky, I don't imagine they'd care much about just finding a platform with their preferred features, similar to how they didn't like mastodon and found bluesky instead.
