It has a single owner who makes the decisions and makes profitable the contributions of the users. It is a social media model that has been over for me for some time now, if they are open the better for them, I am not going to join anyway.
My experience is not that, maybe I follow less "boring" people and the chronological order seems great to me. I have also not seen repeated toots from the same person and of course, people like this Dr. Cory do not seem like the right person to follow (from what you say, I have no idea who he is)
The market niche today is what it is, that is clear and gives the direction of the company, but its main interest is to make money (something legitimate of course) so if the market situation changes and Twitter or Truth Social go to the bottom they could try to capture that garbage out of pure economic interest.
In Mastodon something like this could happen in a specific node, by blocking it you avoid losing the entire network. It is an absolute advantage. Mastodon's only problem with Bluesky is Bluesky's marketing department
I don't know, it depends on the type of content you are used to seeing and these things, in my language and my interests, Mastodon is enough for me with about 150-200 daily toots from the media and people I follow, not all of them interesting, mind you, but most
I left Twitter years ago, but I think you could also block whoever you want, whether people do it more or less is independent of the site, the moderation tools are the same. 3
What's more, I am 100% sure that if in a few years Bluesky considers it economically beneficial for its shareholders that these tools "have occasional failures" this will happen without a doubt. This is something that if happens in Mastodon, changing the node you are done
Yesterday I read on mastodon that leaving Twitter to go to Bluesky is like quitting smoking to start vaping. Changing a centralized place that lives off your data for another one. Right now Bluesky does not have hate speech like Twitter just because it does not suit the current accounts of its shareholders

A private company wants to make money, that's not possible. Mastodon is funded by donations. It's good as a user to know how everything works and choose accordingly.
I agree, that's why in my first comment I said that if that were the scenario it would be a good scenario for Ukraine. The title of this news is what it suggests, how realistic it is, this is another story
After the rise of fascism in Europe, many wondered how such collective madness was possible. Each country had its own motivations, but they all shared the lack of opportunities to prosper materially (that lack of opportunities could be real or perceived, it doesn't matter), that led to desperation and made it easier to buy into the discourse of "someone else is to blame for your ills, attack him and prosperity will return." That's why things like public healthcare were established throughout Europe after the war.
When fascism rises, blaming the people solves nothing, blaming a system that doesn't care enough for them usually gives better results
I don't know, it could be, my experience in military strategy is summarized in having lost many times in the Europa Universalis. What I do understand a little more about is politics and international relations and I know that if Russia presented itself to negotiate with a deal that said "if you give me Crimea I won't ask for anything else" Ukraine should accept without hesitation.
Are these details really that important? Is it really that difficult to manually block 50-100 users? I don't know, everything you are telling me are, at best, marginal improvements that do not justify selling all your personal data to a private company seeking profit from those data/contributions.
