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

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

            I’ve heard people complain a lot about its resource usage on the server side, that the advantages of it running on elixir are moot unless the instance has over 1k people. The web UI leaves a lot to be desired, true, but at least it’s not such a client-side resource hog/browser crasher as misskey/sharkey

        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.

          Thought this way yes.

          I misread and saw that it was some kind of DMCA, and an instance owner would probably not want to play around with that. Not respecting local laws on specific things is not likely to have serious repercussions

          It’s pretty trivial for them to block all major instances though, or even all instances federated with all major instances

            That would just be an endless game of whack-a-mole given just how many instances there are, and how easy it is to just set up another instance immediately.
