Because they are a company and a board of ethical leaders to ensure it doesn't turn to shit is no guarantee it doesn't turn to shit. BlueSky is something a corporate mindset person creates because that's the only thing they know. Have a problem to solve? Needs company + board.

For some reason people expect things from Bluesky but people forget Bluesky is basicly just new Twitter. There's really no reason to expect "better" from this new platform.
What's the point of Bluesky if they're just going to bow before authoritarianism?
Just yesterday I saw a post on lemmy that said that turkish xitter users were migrating to bluesky. Didn't bother opening to see the comments or read it. Seeing this now, all I can think is "well, what did they expect?"
I've been on the fence about joining Bluesky but I think I am not going to bother.
BSKY is full of cam girls. I started getting random follows from people with no posts, and nothing on their profiles except links to the pages where they sell videos of themselves. Went straight to mastadon.
I mean... does every site where communication happens not have that? random scams are just part of the Internet, federated or not 🤷♀️
No one is gonna randomly follow you on Masodon because no one is gonna see your posts.
"I went somewhere open to the public and the public was there!" That's what you sound like talking about seeing a couple bots in 2025.
But it's a decentralized service! /s
The relevant question here is if you are in Turkey because if you aren't this is a much bigger deal than if you are.
Also, does "restricted access to your account for users" mean for all users or just for those in Turkey?
Even if it’s a Turkey-specific restriction for users based in the country, it nonetheless shows that Bluesky is willing to comply with government requests.
So back to Mastadon then. I was not using BSKY much anyway to be fair.
