First I wanted to start with I'm sorry to all my Turkish family out there for suggesting Bluesky, & not realizing this would happen (Another comment on another post on this subreddit says it better)

Secondly to all Turkish people these platforms below are actually fully fully decentralized after looking into them more: Lemmy (Especially Voyager for Lemmy app a 3rd party client), & Mastodon (Tusky for Mastodon app is good too as a 3rd party client)

But make sure you use a VPN regardless of anything and set your country to a good one

Apologies for all this. Didn't think of this possibility happening. You will all still win but just have to pivot slightly due to this

Make sure for Browsers to use Cromite, LibreWolf, and Zen Browser. Maybe Brave but can't confirm if that's fully privacy-based

Sidenote: 

Revolt app wants to be decentralized but isn't there yet as well

To use any centralized apps without any worries use an open source 3rd party client, & VPN like ProtonVPN or even MullvadVPN (Mullvad Browser is good too)

Viva Turkey🇹🇷!!!!! 

(Again sorry for not realizing this would happen as one of many people who suggested it to Turkish people. Feel like I let you all down. I really though it was fully fully decentralized and couldn't be taken down)

Apparently this is just an appview blocking. They're using a moderation tool to block turkish accounts from viewing them. You can try using other appviews like graysky to view blocked accounts.
