Bluesky is a great project to learn from. Their investment in infrastructure paid off with big growth and a great UX. They have become more open over time. #nostr still has the potential if it can "out-open" them, by transitioning from a 1 person hobby project to a completely open, transparent community (work is ongoing there). Then use bluesky as market research of what is possible with great infrastructure, great ux, great content, and great growth (where nostr is lagging).
Bluesky has announced that nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m has left the Bluesky board of directors.

What 1 thing do you think that makes bluesky stand out?
Infrastructure
In what sense? Could you tell 2 sentences like I'm 5?
Bluesky have invested in professional infrastructure (good servers) that can handle millions of users. Nostr is mainly an unfunded hobby network, which can only take you so far.
Thanks! So you say lagging infrastructure is the base cause of the current state?
Likely a combination of things, but you asked me to pick one. Better infra is an easy win, for example nostr:npub10pensatlcfwktnvjjw2dtem38n6rvw8g6fv73h84cuacxn4c28eqyfn34f could earmark 1% of their nostr fund to help the relay network. That would be a nice touch.
Did:PLC is super pragmatic. It allows users to not need to understand private keys
