So yes and no. They removed the domain name user names at bsky.social so while the users have their keys and could migrate to a different PDS, I don’t think they’re able to publish on bluesky hardware. I’m also not sure if bluesky the company has blocked content from those DID’s (users) on the relays and appviews. If they didn’t block, they probably don’t want to be public about it because Turkey would just come back and demand that they do it.

ah interesting

no, i'm fairly sure they don't do complete blocks like that at the protocol level unless it's spam that's like a DDoS level (although not sure what counts as that)

yeah they def won't get too technical for them, if the Turkish gov find out it's still technically up, who knows what will happen lol

also, I wasn't a user of Twitter from the early days to ~2021 (it fascinates me, but let's just say twitter is older than me!) - but how did Twitter do this with 3rd party apps at the time? i never used them (since elon killed them since), but i assume Twitter could only shadowban specific users in the official app, since otherwise it's just API calls? unless a full account take down ofc
