Why are all the leftists ditching Twitter for Blue sky not moving to Nostr instead? Is it because they need a liberal safe space? Or is it because Nostr is missing something they need?

It's probably because Mastodon, and Bluesky have stronger network effects due to being around longer.
There's multiple factors really but I'd say that's a primary driver.
Nostr still has room to grow.
Liberal safe space.
The concept that actual truth, logic, and reason might slip through without being censored. Is like a Vampire visiting an Italian restaurant and being offered garlic bread. They would burst into flames from a triggered rage if they consumed it at all.
Regular internet users don’t know that Nostr exists and onboarding on Bluesky is much easier. It’s working as expected of the category „social network“. Nostr is like Bitcoin in 2015.
I quote a guy I follow on X after I asked him about nostr..
... honestly I just followed some people that I liked to the platform they went to - and then I liked what I saw and stayed :)
I'm sure there are other alternatives, too, but this one already seems "good enough" for me and has the people I'm interested in.
