One of the best features of Bluesky is that it just looks like Twitter. Much easier to explain to people that it's just Twitter with a different name.
Over the weekend a lot of journalists in my country (Austria) moved over to Bluesky (Including one with > 600k followers) and with the "starter packs" on Bluesky (Curated list of people you can follow with one click) it was possible to adopt it very quickly and have an active and useful feed without a long onboarding time to make it your own.

My impression was that blocks on Bluesky seem like a great way to censor dissent and criticism which only seems to fuel echo chambers. Blocking someone not only stops them from interacting with you in the future but also seems to hide their criticism from public view.
