Apparently, as @f and @ssg mentioned, Bluesky has started honoring account restriction / takedown requests from Turkish government.
Bluesky has been a haven for Turkish leftist people, because both the government and X has restricted access to the leftist accounts.
After people accepted Bluesky as a safe place, their "limiting access of accounts to specific regions" is frustrating, and exhausting.
I've been promoting ActivityPub / Mastodon for years, and I'll keep on doing so.

in reply to Nils Weisensee • • •@nw @slothrop there was/is a group trying to raise funds to set up an independent relay, which is kind of the backbone of the whole thing, a lot of the other bits are feasibly self-hosted.
They were looking for tens of millions to do it, which isn't promising.

#Fediversity shows one such way, via #NixOS. In this #NixFlake we see an automated setup for a set of services, like #Mastodon, #Peertube and #Pixelfed.
You basically fork this, modify its variables and run it on your server and you should have your own platforms up and running.

that's the cost of running a relay, not a PDS right?
