Scientists read things all the time, but have better uses for their energies than researching social media platforms (like curing cancer or whatnot).
Plus even once you join an instance, finding content across instances is another hurdle, and continues to be thus basically forever. And then someone else can at any point steal your name on some other instance and pretend to be you. There are a number of issues that Bluesky purports to solve that Mastodon refuses to.
Mastodon can say "I am such a nice man, why will nobody use me?" all it wants, but at the end of the day people go with what works for them. If it tried being responsive to user feedback it could have been different... and the same goes for Lemmy too (we treat centrists and especially conservatives horribly here, and I don't even want to begin to describe how we treat Windows users, then collectively wonder why people don't want to leave Reddit and come here). If we want a different outcome, we might want to try a different set of actions to achieve it.
