   I'm just going to say it. I don't have any empirical evidence.

   One of the biggest reasons Bluesky may have been "the choice" is because they have quote-posts natively.

   And what that boils down to is responsiveness to the userbase. That's really what Mastodon needs to get better at. If people start to feel that, even slowly, the product is getting better for all, then it will succeed. If people think it will never change, then it will never reach its full potential for users.

     This being said, all the trolls are there too, but they have some unique moderation functions. Someone maintains a list and you can 'subscribe' and auto-block a bunch of accounts. It will also be changing as they are still figuring out what they are gonna do, so it is not 'stable'. i.e. there is no verification and fake accounts are popping up.

     IMO, nothing will ever be what twitter was and people need to move on and accept social media will be different going forward.

     Its not about quote posts. It is more than that. I think it is the ease of finding those you interacted with before. It is also much more active with celebrities, be they journalists or entertainment.

     Functionality lacks there, so it is not 'better'. (no edit function for example.)

     Though the ability to remove your post **from** a post quote and prevent anyone from seeing the comment is extremely popular.

     People want what they liked before and bsky gives them that.
