It’s because of the government’s harsh pressure on social media in Turkey. Elon Musk’s X supports to suspending opposition accounts. So we decided to come here.
Hi, İ'm Turkish. We decided to boykott X and move here, because X was systematically cencoring accounts, that critisized the brutal government opression since the protests, which started on the 19th of March.
We are using this platform to get organized. We are not deleting our accounts on X yet since the transition has not been completed yet (opposition party has not declare a transition yet). That's might be the reason of you seeing X links on profiles.
Turkish people protesting dictator erdogan and his goverment, all of this things happening Elon Musk and Turkish goverment are working together to stoping protest in Turkiye.Musk banned opposite peoples accounts and hastags at X.So we started use here to continue to our protest. Also we boycotting X
To sum up, account closures and censorship practices on the X, especially when sharing political content, have led to concerns about freedom of expression among users. This has triggered a search for an uncensored platform and increased the tendency towards Bluesky with its decentralized structure
Wir sind hier, weil man uns unsere Freiheit genommen hat. Nachdem alle Plattformen von der Regierung blockiert wurden, blieb uns nur noch Bluesky als letzter Ort des freien Austauschs.“
Unfortunately, there is no freedom of thought in Türkiye. The government puts MPs, students, the press and innocent people who do not think like it into prison. There is oppression and torture. And Twitter is trying to silence the people by collaborating with the government in Türkiye.

But I see many people leave a link to their Twitter (X) here. Maybe something else was the reason?
