Hi there,
We are writing to inform you that we have received a formal request from a legal authority in Turkey regarding the removal of your account associated with the following handle (@carekavga.bsky.social) on Bluesky.
The legal authority has claimed that this content violates local laws in Turkey. As a result, we are required to review the request in accordance with local regulations and Bluesky's policies.
Following a thorough review, we have determined that the content in question violates local laws in Turkey, as outlined in the legal request. In compliance with these legal provisions, we have restricted access to your account for users.
Go away.
Even I2P uses supernodes, that doesn't make it centralized because you don't depend on them.
You don't need ultra purist single-type-node mesh like scuttlebutt to be decentralized.
Bluesky is federated, where the federation has multiple layers and EVERY layer can be run independently and interconnected to other nodes.
You can even connect to MULTIPLE! An appview can talk to many relays, a PDS account host can talk to many relays, anybody can subscribe to multiple separate feeds generators and moderation labelers hosted wherever, using any app, etc.
Your inability to read remains YOUR problem, not mine.
My point is exactly this - it's feasible to maintain your own private relay by mirroring the content you want, imitating both Mastodon and scuttlebutt.
You can choose to share a community relay - or not.
Running it for an audience of yourself is reasonably cheap. Running it for a worldwide audience is where bandwidth gets expensive. That's why people run private ones.
Not capable of synchronizing with the original? Lmao. It's literally content addressed, you can synchronize with every relay separately, swap arbitrarily between public appviews, regardless of who runs what and where it gets data from. It's maximally capable of synchronization. It even beats nostr and scuttlebutt because you can VERIFY you have fresh and complete data (Merkle trees yay).
Pretty sure Whitewind pulls in data themselves directly when users use self hosted atproto accounts, maintaining its own relay index. Don't think they make it publicly accessible though
Not having gatekeepers is what matters the most. You can run all infrastructure yourself and still interact with bluesky users (need to use DID:Web, but that's a minor point)
