i don't get why this is shocking; if you do business in a country you have to follow local laws.

Honestly at this point I want to host a distributed Lemmy instance and completely ignore all country laws in favor of complete and absolute freedom of speech.

It might sound extreme, but pretty sure at this point I'd be willing to die for it given the state of global politics.

Is Bluesky the next X ??? Kissing the ring of authoritarian leaders?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 6 days ago

they all exist in the same world and they will all need to figure out how to make money sooner or later

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Remove one Turk from the service or remove the entire service from Turkey?

Essentially the question Bluesky executives had to make here.

I'm not even surprised lol. Just another reason why communities like Lemmy and forums are better than any social media platform. Man I hope the Fediverse keeps growing, the more people that see through this bs and jump ship and find us over here in the Fediverse the better.
