I don't get why they listened to the Turkish government. There not (to my understanding) registered there or have any kind of assests there.

let's hope they stop at that and don't give out their info like yahoo did before for china and other oppressive governments

My naive guess is that if the Turkish government ban access to BlueSky for not complying, that cuts into user count and therefore profitability.

I just made an account on there and was getting ready to settle in. We can’t have anything nice…. I guess I’ll just stick to the fediverse.

I am still learning what the fediverse even is truthfully. I thought Bluesky was part of the fediverse. Man.
