I don’t know that they do perceive any advantages, some may only have heard of bluesky while others are indeed moving to mastodon. When a community is forced to leave, they fracture. As an example there already exists blacktwitter.io a mastodon instance with 1200 users compared to the 50,000 of bluesky (unknown how many of those are blacktwitter diaspora).
People leaving for bluesky however is brought to our attention because bluesky has the money for PR who probably pitched this story to NBC.
yeah i genuinely wonder what advantages they perceive in Bluesky. it seems like Mastodon but proprietary and overall worse

I think it comes down to the exclusivity (invite-only beta) and some of the big names (e.g. AOC) being on there.
