When you check Moderation settings from Turkey, you see an additional moderation service specific to Turkey and has a note saying “Required in your region”.

I know @safety.bsky.app team is not a big one but it doesn’t look good when you have a huge wave of new users from Turkey because of government enforced censorship on X/Twitter and then you silently add a country specific moderation service and start blocking users.

Global Government Affairs on X: "This week, X sealed its victory in its First Amendment lawsuit against California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

1. Even though Elon Musk's X states that "X will always fight for free speech and people's right to express themselves," X then arbitrarily censors hundreds of accounts belonging to students and civil society subject to copy & paste decisions in Turkey over the last few days. x.com/GlobalAffair...

Chart from NetBlocks showing platform feature restrictions by ISP in Turkey on March 19, 2025. The data indicates widespread internet restrictions affecting platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. Access issues are observed across major ISPs such as Türk Telekom, TT Mobil, and Turkcell, with services showing varying levels of reachability, in some cases down to 0%. The disruptions coincide with the reported detention of Istanbul mayor Ekrem Imamoglu and other political opposition figures.

this is definitely the way to go. putting on a sticker and forgetting about is rather lazy and not effective at all - you're still financially supporting him in the end.

Forbes headline: UHC Shooter Luigi Mangione Appears To Have Been A Redditor — And He Researched Back Pain And Backpacks

NBC screenshot: Luigi Mangione, who was arrested and charged with murder in the shooting death of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, once belonged to a group of Ivy League gamers who played assassins, a member of the group told NBC News. In the game, called "Among Us," some players are secretly assigned to be killers in space who perform other tasks while trying to avoid suspicion from other players.

if you got arrested after a nationwide manhunt, what would the media pull from your internet activity to make into ominous headlines?

Kirche von Unten wird erneut vertrieben Die traditionsreiche, linksalternative KvU muss abermals einen neuen Standort finden. Wie schnell, darüber herrscht zwischen den Betreiber*innen und dem Grundstückeigentümer Uneinigkeit.

Die KvU ("Kirche von Unten"), lange Jugendclub in Berlin-Mitte, hat eine Geschichte, die bis in die Zeit der DDR-Opposition vor der Wende zurückreicht.

Der Ort in Mitte wurde unter ihren Füßen verkauft, jetzt wird sie wieder vertrieben.

Deus Ex Aesthetics A Deep Dive into the Aesthetics of Ion Storm's Sci-Fi Action-RPG

I wrote something! Thanks to the amazing retro gaming posts and accounts on this site, I was inspired to do the research into where a game's vibe and aesthetics come from and I attempt to talk about it here, for the first of hopefully many deep dives, with Deus Ex.

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.
