Difference between Mastodon and Bluesky (feddit.it)

Hi everyone.

I'm new to these kinds of innovative platforms, and I've come across Mastodon and Bluesky in particular. I've realized that both use different but equally free and open-source protocols, so my question is: are there any substantial differences between the two social networks? Should I choose one over the other?

Thanks for your replies, and have a great day.

Are you saying someone could keep their account even if their ATProto instance goes down? On Mastodon, you'd still get to keep the migrated followers, right? The instance maintainer would just have to announce closure in advance.
