They're far too addicted to the algorithmic brain rot to switch of their free will.

Tbf there is FAR more content there, and also somehow less authoritarianism and echo chamber effect than here - like we have the modlog but they have modmail and the ability for people to continue their already started conversations on posts after removal from the sub, while here (without even a notification sent to the user) we simply have a message like "Rule 1" (which says nothing at all about why a message might have been removed...?).

If we want to attract more users, then like Bluesky, we need to do better at meeting the desires that users actually have, rather than like Mastodon simply complain why nobody wants to come here. PieFed, Mbin, and Sublinks are attempting to do that, so there's hope, but we are still a long ways away yet.

I disagree.

It is more important to stay true to yourself, than open the gates to the flooding of new content. That is the only way to satisfy existing users and avoid that the platform loses it's "core" or soul in the long term. It might be unpopular, but if you prefer the PieFed or Mbin approach, you know, you can always just go there? What's stopping you? Everybody should try to find the platform that's best for their personal approach to things, i think.

Sublinks

I would just refrain from mentioning Sublinks until there is at least a working instance with a minimal product

There is https://demo.sublinks.org/, but yeah it's nowhere close to being actually functional unlike PieFed that can almost be a daily driver.
