you don't kill a cow for a scratch on her leg (I hope the saying is understandable for everybody since it doesn't come from English).
I'm on mastodon and bluesky: the first is even less populated than here and a big part of the interesting content comes from bot reposting popular accounts from x or reddit, while the second is far from being THE solution but it's nowadays a -not wildly populated- compromise.
I don't condone (while I understand) the Turkish bans and I'm not interested in a verification system: if I'd like one, I'd use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EIDAS.
I hope bluesky will correct its approach for what they can (the "good old" twitterin the golden era was banned in Turkey)

I believe the equivalent saying would be "don't let perfect be the enemy of good".
I couldn't give a single shit about these twitter alternatives, because the whole concept is stupid.
the whole concept is stupid.

Being that algorithmic just makes any Twitter-like design too easy to abuse.
Again, Lemmy (and Reddit) is far from perfect, but fundamentally, grouping posts and feeds by niche is way better. It incentivizes little communities that are concerned about their own health, while users have zero control over that shouting into the Twitter maw.

I've seen this movie before.
Yous are hyping it a basic verification system which can't be bought and is handed out for the sake of showing credibility is a good thing

Figured they would go down this route. Don't use it anyway
Yeah I deleted my Bluesky. All public companies eventually turn to shit because of the shareholders unending greed.
