People (like me) are looking for a Twitter alternative. The alternative need to have a minimum viable product.

Mastodon is 7 years old and still don't have a search or quote feature.

BlueSky is newer, but the app it's totally awful (takes 30 seconds to open here on Android), you can't post videos.

Ironically Meta owns React Native, but Threads is built with native tech, meanwhile BlueSky it's React Native....

Of course - people need to be there too. I use Twitter mainly for news, politics and tech. Most of this is on Threads. Meanwhile on Bluesky and Mastodon, almost none of this is there for me.

On Mastodon you have a bunch of accounts replicating twitter accounts exactly because it lacks greatly these accounts.
