@bedirthan @Gargron the biggest one in here is https://ursal.zone

@bedirthan if you want a list, @augustocc maintains one here: https://mastodon.br-linux.org/instancias/

@Gargron

@gavinisdie @Gargron this is a rise of #censorship . First you blocks X and fines people for using VPN. Next you ban all communication channels of opposition (already going, there is the reason of blocking X in Brasil) and start to persecute their leaders. We already saw these in Russia, now the time for Brasil...

@nemobis hey @renchap, @andypiper and friends: Can we expepiate getting some Brazilian instances on the joinmastodon page?

@Gargron on mastodon.social or overall?

@Gargron Not nearly as big as the move to Bluesky, but its definitely an increase nonetheless.

@Gargron Twitter was blocked in Brazil yesterday for not respecting the Supreme Court's order to block far-right accounts for spreading false information and inciting undemocratic acts. I think that the administrators of the instances here at Mastodon should be very attentive to this diaspora.

@Gargron is this exclusively for this instance or for the network as a whole?

@Gargron

There should be a list of native Brazilian Fediverse instances to make it easiest for our new friends from Brazil to come here and find their communities. I hope that is being highlighted everywhere they are finding homes, 1) that they are welcome indeed, and 2) that we will help them find places they can express their cultural uniquenesses.

@Gargron I just started getting traffic warnings from my Bluesky PDS, and Mastodon is a close second. Holy crap!

LB: so much for "fedi is dying, Brazilians aren't coming here after the twitter ban!"

@gargron

Bem-vindos, brasileiros!

@Gargron Might need a few more Brazilian instances then?

@Gargron of course, the vast majority are going to Bluesky. how does that make you feel?
