      Re: “(…) fuck however they want it spelt.”

      As a Turkish person, I’m with you on this.

      If the Turkish government wants you to refer to Turkey as Türkiye, then they shouldn’t be allowed to call the US “Amerika Birleşik Devletleri”: they should be required to pronounce it United States of America.

      Let’s see how they like it then, lol. “Yunayıted Sıtets af Amerika”, hah.

        It’s also quite awkward requiring others to spell the country with letters that don’t exist in most alphabets, and therefore not on commonly used keyboards.

        Sure you can make use of ü and others with some international layouts, but for laypeople it’s rather cumbersome.

        Imagine China would suddenly require everyone spelling it as 中国， nobody would even be able pronounce it, let alone write.

      The bird was named after the country. So if they want to be called Türkiye, that means we’ll be having türkiye for Thanksgiving from now on.

      I don’t think bluesky was federated. Not in the sense that anybody can start making bluesky servers in their room

        “Bluesky” itself is trademarked and all the rest, but it uses AtProtocol which is a completely open federation protocol. AtProtocol doesn’t have the support of ActivityPub because it’s much newer and also more complicated (for good reason, but still).

          Whether anything about it is for a good reason is very much a contested point. There are significant issues they introduced with the design while trying to address some that exist in ActivityPub.
