Confirmation: Bluesky Now Blocking User In Turkey In Response To Turkish Demands

Yesterday Arda Kılıçdağı @arda posted (micro.arda.pw/@arda/1143442610) that #Bluesky had blocked a user in response to Turkish pressure, and published the purported notification.

Today, he confirmed the block by demonstrating that the subject account is still visible in the rest of the world, but blocked in Turkey (see below and micro.arda.pw/@arda/1143480854). Independently confirmed by @aral (mastodon.ar.al/@aral/114348113).

@mastodonmigration
That's on the bluesky-topic of independent and decentralized. Sure... 🙄
That doesn't happen in the Fediverse.

@werawelt @mastodonmigration @arda @aral I understand that AT protocol can also have different servers and rules for the servers... In that sense, why wouldn't people spin up a bsky server in the same fashion?

@craiglambie42 @werawelt @mastodonmigration @arda Anyone can. Just takes ~$30M or so to get started.

freeourfeeds.com/ (Not an endorsement. Just pointing out how ridiculous it is.)

Yeah, whatever happened to those guys. Last heard they were taking the $100K they scammed and cozying up to some blockchain nonsense.

MastodonMastodon Migration (@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online)Bluesky Free Our Feeds initiative turns out to be a blockchain play. Remember a couple months ago when #FreeOurFeeds showed up asking for $30M to save Bluesky from billionaires by making a second 'relay'. Well, now the plan is to hook the #Bluesky 'firehose' up to some kind of blockchain thing and declare it 'distributed' and safe from billionaires. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/who-owns-the-future-of-social-media-a-giant-leap-to-decentralize-core-components-of-blueskys-at-protocol-ecosystem-302387397.html If you read this techno mumbo jumbo release and it makes no sense to you, it is not you. It literally makes no sense.
