I hate to say this but I'm starting to find Twitter more hospitable than Bluesky

I think a lot of it is that once people decided Bluesky was the new Twitter they packed up and brought their toxic social behaviors over. And now the people I see on Twitter are mostly just doing their own thing in the once-mighty cultural capital of the internet.

This is nothing new. I observed something similar in 2018 when Tumblr "died" -> lots of people moved to Twitter -> Twitter got noticeably worse. It's easy to read this as some pessimistic "we are the virus" thing, but I think it's more that people's irresponsible use of social media platforms is more a reflection of the infinite-growth-and-resource-extraction mindset of the capitalists who make social media sites.

Bluesky's not bad, at least it annoys me less than Mastodon, but I have a pretty heavy hand with the block/mutehammer. there's a lot of people I have nothing against personally but they post so much and interact with people I'm following so much that I gotta turn down the volume or drown in their posts.
