mastodon blew it by attacking people who had legitimate concerns about the service during the first migration.

that and the whole "learn in your own" part of it.

I use bSky quite a bit more than my mastodon account, it made more sense to operate and had better documentation/help getting started, so I could use existing muscle memory on it and loo kthimgsu p if needed

Yep. And also, like I said in https://privacy.thenexus.today/bluesky-atmosphere-fediverse/

For one thing, most of the people who came to Mastodon in late 2022 didn't have good experiences ... so didn't stay in the Fediverse.6 Flash forward to 2024, and Mastodon still hasn't addressed the reasons why.

Bluesky, by contrast, has put a lot of work into onboarding and usability – as well as giving people better tools protect themselves and others, and find and build communities ... So today, BTS ARMY and millions of Brazilians, and everybody else looking for a Twitter alternative are more likely to have a good experience on Bluesky than Mastodon.

Mastodon isn't a person. So I don't know who you are talking about when you say 'mastodon was attacking people'. I certainly didn't see anything like that. Perhaps you have an example link for context?
