Instance has been down all day so i haven't seen if there have been any Brazilians hopping on the fedi, but dang, elon really will lose an entire country that has the 6th most users and all the ad revenue that brings overnight just to be an edgelord - ...

Yeah, of all the arguments that they shouldn't be considered part of the fediverse, "they don't see themselves that way" is probably the strongest (if true).
Also I hope I'm not coming across here as saying that Bluesky is great or should be trusted. They've got their own problems (including anti-Blackness, who would have predicted), they've got enough venture funding that it's really hard to imagine them finding a non-exploitative business model that works, and they were founded by Jack Dorsey after reading Mike Masnick's "Protocols not Platforms" which talks about why a protocol-based approach because it meant that platforms wouldn't have to ban Alex Jones (and while Jack's not involved any more, they replaced him on the board with Masnick). etc etc etc.

Indeed, it was a splash of cold water! Dan's now updated FediDB stats to include the CSAM instance baraag.net and Russian propaganda bot farm pravda.me, so fedi numbers show a significant increase ove the last month! PROBLEMS SOLVED!!!!!!!
