Brazil has 200,000,000 people, it's a country where ppl are heavily on facebook (preciously on Orkut and ICQ), Brazilian society functions via WhatsApp. Even lawyers do stuff with you via WA.
Assuming this is real numbers, not removing bots and such, it's a tiny number for Brazil.
There is no point in looking at blue sky as somehow some example of someone doing something write.
I have never met a real life person who's active on that platform, I don't know anyone in Brazil who even heard about blue sky.
They are being smart about doing a fuck ton of PR about it to get North American users by having folks talk about them on Nostr 😂
Focus on Nostr, blue sky is irrelevant to the main platforms AND to our big picture.

New guy question:
Are there any good extensions for Nostr that auto-translate "latest" or "Trending" or whatever from X language into the local language?
Feels like this instantly unlocks a few things:
1. If it's an "open source" dictionary of a type, you get a quick look at local "slang" which makes AI translations better faster. (See also: Bae or Chuffed in English).
2. Increased speed to information distribution. Not that Nostr-crack is what we want, but this will help decentralize away from MSM if people are able to get their news somewhere else in their native tongue. (Bonus if they can correct colloquial mistakes for others "Revise translation" - Zap reward for "correct" support?)
3. Insights like NVKs can be spread to combat Propaganda. It's great that we can see this in English, but if you're Mammy somewhere and this is your first phone (thinking 5 years when Nostr is more mainstream), the way you exit the matrix is truth.
Just a question from a noob.
Thanks!
... I’ve been living in Brazil for 2 years i haven’t met a single person that mention/uses BlueSky
This is a current trend. After Twitter was blocked in Brazil, several influencers got people to follow them on Bluesky, although some also followed them on Threads.
Even Brazilian government pages moved to Bluesky.
2. Mas deve ter aumentado bem o número de identitários depois dessa semana passada.
Its not just a Brazilian stuff, this is how it works in whole LatAm with WhatsApp
Good to look left and right, but best to look forward if that’s where we want to go ❤️ Grateful for Nostr. Thank you @fiatjaf
I wish it was lss complicated
Located in Brazil and didn't even know about nostr until X got blocked, glad to have found it
And you can get zapped on nostr…like real internet money :)
I have some reading to do 😅 nips, zaps, relays lol
Wallet of Satoshi is an easy wallet for zaps, and it should work in Brazil. Just remember if you get a large amount of zaps you should look into a real Bitcoin wallet. Someone here will always help. The #asknostr hashtag will help get questions answered quickly
Definitely get a lightning wallet address so you can receive zaps. Doesn’t look like you have one set up yet.
Noob alert, I downloaded wallet of satoshi and added the email address to my profile, thats it right?
Works ⚡
🤯
Yes it's that quick and easy. Zaps are awesome!
# Now
Take what you're passionate about and post notes.
Reply to other peoples threads, get to know them. Follow lots of others for a good feed.
Zap & get zapped.
# ⚡💜🤙
Bingo. WoS is the bomb. ⚡️
Couldn't figure out why wallet of satoshi wouldn't generate an address, while I was continuously connected to a miami vpn server to be able to read X 😅 They block US connections so I had to turn the vpn off for it to work haha
Yeah they don't operate in the US due to govt shenanigans 😂
Same. Got on Nostr when I was booted from X. Welcome! 👍🏼🤠
Thank you, liking what I see so far 👍
Now activate your zaps 👍🏼
Um monopólio da liberdade ou uma liberdade livre do monopólio?
Welcome in Brasil! Remember that the correct pronunciation is Brasil without the Z! 🇧🇷☀️
every situation there is always an opportunity. Glad we have u here on #nostr! 🤓
Set up your wallet so we can zap you some sats (bitcoin).
Welcome and enjoy the ride.
Welcome to the purple side
Put your Monero address in your profile and we can send some your way.
Isn't it more likely for an average user to use a VPN than to find and use Nostr?🤔
No one told you about the $8000 fines there if caught using VPN?
that is a good motivation indeed
The ban of X in Brazil is going to be another Streisand effect; I see it coming. Perfect.
Best thing ever happened was X get blocked
It’s so much better here… 🫱🏼🫲🏽 welcome
it’s like twitter but more about freedom and bitcoin!
Followed. It is rumored that @actionslave (creator of #nostr) is Brazilian.
I'm neiter Brazilian nor the creator of nostr. I think you have nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7urewfsk66ty9enxjct5dfskvtnrdakj7qgmwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8wetnw3jhymnzw33jucm0d5hsz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjme0qy88wumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmv9uqzqwlsccluhy6xxsr6l9a9uhhxf75g85g8a709tprjcn4e42h053vahj2kfz in mind
This is where everything will happen. It is also possible for X to adopt #nostr as their protocol. Not sure Elon has the necessary vision.
welcome! #nostr is awesome. You’ll love it.
remember. the more you give nostr the more you get back.
welcome! crazy to think of such a big country banning....
Welcome to the World Wide Web
Slightly misleading. After careful review of the author posting history, @communitynotes was able to determine that the author was “mildly self-satisfied and board-line smug” rather than “glad” as his post suggests after discovering Nostr.
Everything happens for the greater good, your post is proof of my belief 😊
Spread the word about #nostr and help your compatriots choose personal freedom over everything else. 🙌
Yeah I'm talking to people here but the large media conglomerates are literally only talking about #bluesky vs #threads. I have not seen any mention of #nostr at all
interesting 🤔
but you may have noticed that the algos are not filling the feeds. something like #threads. I have not tried #bluesky yet but I do understand it is a decentralized social like #nostr.
I love the fact that we don't have to KYC ourselves and be subjected to unwarranted surveillance. As long as Brazilians have options to hop off government control I am happy.
Bluesky had this number bc the leftists said to NPCs to go there. And there are a lot of NPCs in Brazil.
Unfortunately I think my country is over ! 🫠🔪💀🔥🔥
I meant out country! 😁🫠⚡️
As I brazilian I don't know anyone who uses Blueskt. that's pretty much true about nostr too. But at least some people heard of it.
Eventualmente eles vão ser absorvidos pelo nostr! #NostrOnly 🇧🇷
I made a couple posts about bitcoin on Bluesky and every bot. Every author the entire algo turned against me. Bluesky is like committing suicide , not a pleasant experience
Blue sky is hell on the Internet.
And they can read all your DMs!
Also coming Nostr way for good after I was expelled from X by Brazilian censorship. OH YEAH LIFE IS GOOD IN THE LAND OF FREEDOM!
