 Most of them are commies so fuck them 
 Not most of us. 
I would say 30% commies, 40% right wing and 30% are just functional idiots. 
 I meant the people who are moving to BlueSky, I'm brazilian and I'm seeing a lot of right-wingers and ancaps disobeying Moraes' illegal orders and staying on Twitter while the leftists went there. 
 I agree with the attitude, but is lazy and silly don't look for censorship resistant options. 
 Yeah, it definitely is. It would be wonderful to have more Brazilians here. I don't blame them because people want to be where everyone else is; they probably don't want to lose the follower base they already have. But I got really annoyed when I saw former President Bolsonaro posting on Threads and being totally submissive when he should be leading the opposition. 
 Bluesky wouldnt censor you!

Fuck me sideways. 
 Why not joining nostr protocol rather? 
 What’s nostr? 
 Protocol on which we just chat. I guess you use one of mobile clients - such as Primal, Damus, etc., which are reading/writing from/to relays on nostr protocol.. 
 Why don't they come on Nostr? 🤔 
 Good question 
 A few are coming. 
I'm Brazilian and I just heard of nostr yesterday.
 
 Welcome! If you have a few minutes you should enable zaps. Many lightning wallets will work. I like minibits and phoenix.

 Bluesky is a media darling, Nostr is an underdog.

 It's a shame that they didn't take the opportunity with press releases to promote the network like Bluesky does. 
 Who among you has contacts with Brazilian newspapers to propose an article to them? 
 @breedlove22 ARE you in Brazil 
 **Press Release: In Light of the Ban on X (Twitter) in Brazil, Explore Nostr, the New Frontier of Free Expression**

*Brasilia, September 1, 2024* — In a context where digital freedom of expression in Brazil faces unprecedented challenges, the recent decision by Justice Alexandre de Moraes to block X (formerly Twitter) raises serious concerns about the future of online communication in the country. This decision, driven by issues related to misinformation and security, leaves a significant void for the millions of Brazilians who relied on X as a vital platform for staying informed, sharing opinions, and participating in democratic life.

**A Concerning Context for Freedom of Expression**

The ban on X in Brazil marks a new chapter in the evolving relationship between authorities and social media platforms. While the need to regulate harmful content is recognized, it is essential to preserve spaces where freedom of expression can be exercised without hindrance. This situation calls for an appropriate response that respects democratic principles while offering viable alternatives for the Brazilian population.

Additionally, encryption protocols and decentralized identifiers guarantee a high level of privacy and security for users, while providing resilience against attempts at blocking or censorship.

*Brasília, 1 de setembro de 2024* — Em um contexto em que a liberdade de expressão digital no Brasil enfrenta desafios sem precedentes, a recente decisão do ministro Alexandre de Moraes de bloquear o X (anteriormente Twitter) levanta sérias preocupações sobre o futuro da comunicação online no país.

 Who know a Brazilian journalist to publish this ?  
 Free to use the images when needed 🤙 
 Proof that the average citizen is a sheep and accepts a shepherd to guide them.

They simply don’t get it. 
 If I were someone who stood to financially gain from a massive conversion of users to a particular platform, the President is the first person I'd pay for promotion. Not an accusation - just sayin'.

"On Thursday, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva of Brazil shared on X a list of his accounts on other platforms. The list started with Bluesky."

 They will return to X when the fright passes.
