It’s not. I have a Mastadon account (made it nearly a year before BlueSky). It was work. I have to curate it and the interface is awful. BlueSky was easy.
To be clear, I barely use BlueSky, either. I’m almost exclusively on Lemmy. But these platforms need to get their UX ducks in order, and I say that as someone who has adapted to tech and UX since the late 80s.
Same for me. If you are interested in ease of use, instagram and x do the job AFAIK. But if you are interested in a resilient decentralized platform (and the future of humanity in a non dystopian world), bluesky is not one (although it pretends to be). So for me its mastodon and pixelfed all the way.
I barely have the energy for social media in the first place. Mastadon feels like work.
It’s probably the same amount of work you put in for bluesky. Make an account and start posting.

Would you mind bridging your Bluesky account with Mastodon through https://fed.brid.gy/ ?
I’d follow you through Mastodon.
