Not the OP, but mastodon is open source and not corporately controlled. That seems pretty important when whoever controls the platform can make decisions about what content is surfaced to a user. If I'm the government or a politician I want to make sure I have a direct line to my constituents.
I use both these days, I don't think the user interface is particularly confusing for mastodon, but I think what bluesky has over it is you don't have to choose a server, and the types of users and stuff they're posting on bluesky has a certain appeal. (For example all the funny accounts I used to follow on twitter went to bluesky)
That's part of it. But even getting over that, if I make a Mastadon account on a themed instance I don't even know how to find people more diverse types of people to follow. At least in Bluesky they're all in one place. And most importantly to me you can share custom feeds on Bluesky.
