Disagree as much as you want, but assuming you're a user, will you keep using it? This isn't a whoopsie, or unexpected. As you pointed out, it will happen again. And it was always the safe, profitable choice for them - they're a for-profit business beholden to VC money, not a political organisation or community project like Mastodon/Pleroma/etc.
It's far easier to make that decision before they gain critical mass like twitter and reddit did.
My naive guess is that if the Turkish government ban access to BlueSky for not complying, that cuts into user count and therefore profitability.
I highly recommend reading Manufacturing Consent^[wiki]^. It's easy to find free online. It explains how mass media is systematically filtered by five major factors, the first being ownership, which is more and more relevant every year as media outlets consolidate under the ownership of billionaires like Murdoch, Bezos, Musk and Bloomberg, who have very different material class interests to the other 99.99999[...]% of the population.
Exactly. Luckily it tends to get fixed up once it reaches the clouds.

The water here is flipped upside down too. That's why you sometimes see it written as H^2^O instead of H~2~O. In year 9 chemistry class, we had some joker combine water the wrong way and it just splashed down to the ceiling until it evaporated.
If I had five cents for every time I've seen a comment talk about 'weird AI' and I've read it as 'Weird Al', I would have ten cents.
For fighting tyranny bolt actions are solid.
Are you aware of what gear the tyrants' armies have? They're not going to be fiddling around with bolt action rifles, I can tell you that much.
Guns are a tool, and horrible people using fully auto weapons isn't a good reason for us to avoid them.
It's been done before. Redneck Revolt (antifascist) even had a temporary relationship with a full-on lolbert militia (American Pit Vipers) after APV saw all the disgusting neo-nazis at Charlottesville and realised that antifascists aren't crying wolf.
Nazis aren't "people you disagree with". They're anti-social violence-worshippers, and in this Australian context, terrorists grooming children. The main Australian neo-Nazi group literally had leadership get caught applying for a job in disability services when they said they only wanted to work cases for young boys[1]. ASIO have emphasised the decreasing age of NSNs membership. Their strategy, like many neo-Nazi orgs, is to indoctrinate and recruit disaffected and alienated teenagers.
Well, if this is some attempt at a virgin sacrifice, I don't think they're doing it right.
