I'm not very active on Mastodon, but saw this post - browsing the bluesky hashtag for a bit afterwards did not really give me much info. I can definitely imagine enshittification happening there, but what is causing the current drama in particular?

I feel like you're coming at this pretty aggressively. I don't feel like getting into a fight, but I'll reply once:

I don't like Bluesky. I find its culture very US centric, depressing, and frustrating. However, I also find it is technically better than any activitypub software I've used, and protocol-wise, much better specified.

It also has >30 million users, and is much more prominent culturally.

Lemmy and the microblogging activitypub software are more pleasant to use, but definitely rougher around the edges.

Feeling like I’m being aggressive for asking you to show what you’re basing the claim on, and then deflecting to technical strengths of the platform, really isn’t painting a picture of objectivity.
