Blue sky has an algorithm, people really want their algorithms. They don't want to have to go and search out all of the content, they want to be spoon-fed. When Twitter exploded and Mastodon had their API gate, a lot of journalists and celebrities tested out the water on Mastodon but over time they slowly bled over and end up in Bluesky.
I'm not saying that Mastodon can't survive without an algorithm but they don't make any attempt to deliver content to a person that they find relevant. It's all organic discovery and that's very 00's ish.
