How so?

Federation is one, it really helps but the problems that come with the type of media persist but more controllable

Bluesky does have federation, it's not at the level of Mastodon's, but it's improving. You can host a personal data server, which lets you host your account from your own server. You do still access this account through the main BlueSky website and apps, but authentication is done through your own server.

it has more features then bluesky

Speaking of features, I'm somewhat surprised more people aren't interested in Misskey and co., especially compared to Mastodon's overwhelming share of the Fediverse pie.

Oh yeah true, when more people became unhappy about Twitter so they all went to bluesky and mastodon. So it makes sense.
