    If only there was a decentralised alternative, that was more or less immune to this… LOL

        Bluesky doesn’t work if the IP gets blocked in Turkey, but with Mastodon, you would have to ban every single IP from every Mastodon instance and potentially all other IPs on the Fediverse.

        Let’s say Turkey blocks mastodon.social. Now people in Turkey can’t access Mastodon.social under normal circumstances, but they can still access fosstodon.org, mstdn.social etc. and access the content from Mastodon.social through those other sites.

        Only issue could be media uploaded to Mastodon.social, that’s blocked, unless it has been cached by the website you use.

      I’m afraid a federated micro-blogging website using ActivityPub doesn’t/can’t exist ;_;

          It’s old internet sarcasm, I seent it many times in my life. Yeah, pretty sure it was harmless satire :) the emoticon at the end is a dead giveaway maybe—that there looks like a millennial or zillenial calling card

            I’m just used to the “/s” for when something is written sarcastically.

              Yeah that’s new 2014+ Reddit technology, back in the early days of the internet sarcasm was a lot harder to detect and you were expected to figure it out with context haha

              lots of us don’t know people expect /s and still try to be sarcastic without /s

              instead we used clues like emojis to denote it’s not serious like “lol” or “haha” when it’s sarcastic and funny or ;-; or T-T when it’s sarcasm and expressing frustration
