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

   Yesterday Arda Kılıçdağı @arda posted (https://micro.arda.pw/@arda/114344261036182422) 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 https://micro.arda.pw/@arda/114348085466681138). Independently confirmed by @aral (https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/114348113927295764).

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

     @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?

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

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