We have a lot of options for all social media and other apps, but it is hard to catch people's attention. How can we make more people use these platforms rather than a platform that p.dophiles run

You can both host your own ATproto PDS and even sign up for or migrate to third parties like Blacksky; for now. I won't be surprised if Bsky corporate started getting hostile to that and closed-sourcing ATproto and both paywalling self-hosted PDSes and C&Ding third parties like the aforementioned Blacksky at some point though.

ActivityPub at least doesn't have that problem, and also, unless you can interface with Blacksky's infrastructure, self-hosted PDSes still have to deal with Bsky corporate's centralized infrastructure on some level at least for moderation, where if you self-host an ActivityPub instance, assuming this is on hardware you physically own and control, you own the whole thing.
