Banning Social Media for Teens and THEN going and regulating how the social media companies work their algorithms.
That is like driving on a flat tire for a week and then saying “We should do something about fixing the flat tire” except you are the ones who flattened your tire on purpose in the first place.
Absolute MORONS!!!

on Bluesky’s active user base is shrinking as its focus expands beyond the app: 10.4 million monthly active users worldwide in June 2026, down 27.2% year-over-year. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 11 Aug 2026
Oh, I can post anywhere. I’m in my 50’s, and I know that alt clients can get around it, but that doesn’t change the fact that the service itself chose to “Papers Please” RLID its users when there wasn’t even political pressure to do it at the time in most of the places it operates. If it had changed to be trans and islamiaphobes then I am glad to be off there.

There is a considerable number of users that stopped using Bluesky because of the Age Verification. I think that is playing a significant issue, along with corporate accounts being few and far between compared to Twitter. I really liked how it was set up vs my Mastodon and Twitter account I keep for contests and giveaways. It is a shame they had to go fascist like that.
OK, but this is shutting the stable doors after the horses got out kind of better, not “we needed this earlier and are getting it after some things went wrong” better.
