Oh look, once again, I was right.

Be shocked if it wasn't so common.

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 9 points 1 week ago

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

So back to Mastadon then. I was not using BSKY much anyway to be fair.

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 🤷‍♀️

So, is your account just restricted in Turkey? Or everywhere, based on local Turkish law?

Jack Dorsey earning those libertarian bona fides.

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.
