So now we'll have a whole plethora of social networks for everyone to isolate into their own bubbles essentially because our global leadership is comprised of children who can't play nicely with each other. Sounds good, sign me up for TurkmeniNet.

The site/system made by the guy who enabled Trump and Neo-Nazis to be platformed is bowing down to authoritarians? I'm shocked, shocked to find out that the rich person obeys the other rich people!

it looks like they are restricted only from turkey. the account in question looks fine from other countries, or through VPN.

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.

Oh look, once again, I was right.

Be shocked if it wasn't so common.
