Mastodon's underlying protocol (ActivityPub) is truly garbage. Its reference implementation is an operations nightmare and the dominant culture is just plain hostile to newcomers. I don't think it has a future. Telling people to "pick an instance" is like telling them to pick a Linux distro. DOA.

I'm on both Mastodon and Bluesky at the moment but don't love either. Frankly I want nothing to do with a platform controlled by Jack so I'll be disappointed in Bluesky gains much traction. Bluesky's UX is far superior to Mastodon's, and the invite system is probably a good thing for it at the moment, but I'm not bullish on either platform at this point.
