On the #Brazil ban: I'm kind of surprised the joinmastodon website doesn't have a section welcoming Brazilian users, showing them the best servers.

On the #Brazil ban: I'm kind of surprised the joinmastodon website doesn't have a section welcoming Brazilian users, showing them the best servers. If you filter on 'South America', you get one (yes, 1) server suggestion. I've seen lists showing many more.
Also, where is Eugen in the media? Bluesky boasts 1 million sign ups in the last three days. Where is Mastodon in the headlines? Surely *now* is the time to introduce people to this network? After all, *now* is the time tens of millions of people are looking for a new home.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: establishing a network effect (that is, people being on a platform that you want to follow) is the single most determinant for people bothering to join a social media network and staying there. Moments like these come by rarely and should be snatched up as if they were candy.

@collectifission for getting an instance listed there you need a few things, and the process is described here:
https://joinmastodon.org/covenant
It may just be those Brazilian operated instances haven't chosen to submit themselves yet, or they don't yet meet the requirements (if so, is there something that the community can do to help them meet those requirements?)

@thisismissem True, but the process is opaque. I've tried being listed in the past and I just never received a reply.

@collectifission hmm, I'm pretty sure there shouldn't be a backlog anymore.
There was a period where submissions weren't being kept on top of though.

@thisismissem I sent in my application again on the 1st of September. I haven't heard back yet. Was it received?

@collectifission I'm not in charge of this, I do not know. I'm a volunteer contributor to an open-source project.
