bluesky user complains about mastodon: it should not take rocket science just to join a social media.

bluesky: no media tabs, no videos, no gifs, no bookmarks, racism allowed, no report option categories, block and mute list publicly available in the user profile, mayo is a slur, no manual content warnings, moderation powered by AI, no polls, no pinned posts, no privacy setting, slow app.
