X has blocked access to accounts run by student groups from top Turkish universities at the request of the Turkish government amid nationwide protests over the detention of the mayor of İstanbul and the cancelation of his university degree, the Diken news website reported on Friday.

Serious question. Why no mention of Bluesky?

[–] BlindFrog@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

My take is that bluesky is owned by a corporation making a protocol (AT protocol) to Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

See example, Microsoft trying to convert the internet to only run on its own browser. Or Google enticing websites to use AMP, only to entrap those sites to only use Google's ad services.

When profit drives development, enshittification is not a matter of if, but when.

How is development of ActivityPub protocol funded? Volunteers and their grants, crowdfunding, and enthusiasm, as far as I can tell. @.@ Idk if it's a reason objectively worth supporting FOSS for, but I love when people pool together for their community's greater good.

Why make a bluesky account when you have all the different platforms that already run ActivityPub? Want a youtube replacement? Peertube!
For Reddit, Lemmy.
Instagram, Pixelfed.
Twitter, Mastodon.
Interact with all on the same account? Sure!

But with bluesky? Nope.
