I don't think it'd have to be either or. People can join both or just one it doesn't really matter, If it ends up being another dumpster fire then people will move off just like they did X.

Most people will go where most of the people are going and that's blue sky not Mastodon.

I disagree. People that didn't left twitter when Musk took over are like people who didn't vote in the US election: enablers. In my opinion, if you accept to take part in the nazi shithole that X is, you are in the end validating it's existence.

What are you disagreeing with exactly because I didn't say anything about X.

I'm taking about Mastodon versus bluesky

I think joining bluesky is validating another for-profit business that will do anything to profit from it's userbase. Like facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Titktok, etc. the ONLY goal of capitalist business is to generate profit, so they will throw you under the bus the very second they think they can make more money by doing do. But yeah, you're free to join bluesky until it becomes so shitty that you'll want to join the shinny new capitalist alternative, created by the exact same people lol.
