Bluesky is like X. Owned by american venture capitalists. EU needs something for official communication that’s neither under US nor under commercial control.
American and owned by American capitalists might be a big disadvantage, but that doesn’t automatically equals it to the nazi deepfake porn platform for foreign troll armies that X has become.
Europeans better move to mastodon, but still moving to Bluesky is way better than staying at X.
Bluesky is basically similar to X a decade ago. No sane and intelligent person in the world can deny that Twitter a decade ago was way better than C today.
Oh there’s a large number of people who can’t be arsed to move or who claim “i have to use it for my business”, “I have it but I don’t use it” and like that.
I’m in that second category. But I count for nothing as I never open it (I haven’t in probably 10 years, certainly never opened X, only Twitter) so those people don’t really matter.
If you have decent things to say, your audience will follow you (or you build a new audience). Look at us, we’re all probably ex-redditors and we’re now all on here. Platform changing is possible.
Haven’t many moved to Bluesky already? X is for Muskstans i.e. losers and bigots only these days.

We’ve got Mastodon for that

Ah fair enough. Yes then, a non-US version would be good. I never use any of them personally.
Like a european mastodon instance?
