It's exactly that. I have an account on Mastodon that I haven't opened in months. I use Bluesky a couple of times a day. On Mastodon I couldn't find interesting accounts to follow for weeks. On Bluesky I was up and running after an hour thanks to starter packs. Ease of use trumps (what a word!) philosophy for me. And probably most other people too.
BTW I already lost 10 years of posting on Twitter. Did not care for a second. Do people REALLY care about their postings on micro blog sites? It's not like a box of photographs that I would pass to my children on my deathbed...
Just FYI, starter packs were implemented on Mastodon, or rather, around Mastodon quite a while ago, so maybe give it another shot.
That being said, the nature of Mastodon does still make it more difficult to find interesting accounts.
Thanks, that's awesome! I will give it a try because I love idea of federated networks a lot. Just couldn't find my way in the jungle.
