Well, that's disappointing. @bsky.app started banning accounts complying with Turkish government demands. Not the safe haven those who migrated from X was seeking, it seems.

In this book, I explore how Turkey has related to the liberal order over time—not through clichés about East vs. West, but by diverse, and internally contested, strategic, intellectual and political engagements with institutions, internationalism and democracy. www.agendapub.com/page/detail/...

Soru: Aynı hedef için bir arada bulunan fakat davaları farklı olan, hatta farklılıkla birlikte davaları birbirlerinin kuyruğuna basan bir kalabalığı nasıl bir arada tutarsınız? Bu kabalık bölünmeden, çözülmeden, kavga etmeden nasıl ortak hedef için birliğini sürdürebilir?
