Bluesky is the new X. After canceling the accounts of Turkish protesters this is the next step for the big money behind Bluesky. That’s why I deleted my account a few days ago.

Exactly, Bluesky has been shitty for a while for lots of reasons. I’m not understanding why this is the line in the sand.

Same. Deleted my account when they started to censor the Turkish protestors. Not that I used the account really but still.

What's the story with the Turkish protesters?

The way the article describes Turkey and the press is the same thing that's been happening in the US with the legacy (state funded) media. Hopefully, that's changing now though.
