I have been asked this, and yes, sign-ups and overall traffic from #Brazil are picking up today, following the #X ban. Bem-vindos ao Mastodon!
#brazil #x
in reply to Eugen Rochko

what are some of the most popular servers for those?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Excited to hear it. Is this just for the flagship Mastodon instance(s)?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

já tô aqui a muito tempo. Twitter e o mastodon tem proposta diferente pra meu uso. 🤪🤣
in reply to Eugen Rochko

Wait. They banned the entire country of Brazil from using X?

Or am I misunderstanding?

in reply to Eugen Rochko

Na denn, @Gargron, viel Spass mit den Jüngern von
Olavo de #Carvalho dem so genannten "Guru" von #Bolsonaro .. .

Die hatten bereits Anfang/Mitte des letzten Jahrzehntes aus dem Nichts einen #diaspora* Server mit 25k Nutzern (theRealTalk.org) aufgezogen bevor sie dann urplötzlich die Wahlen gewannen.

Das wird bestimmt ein Riesenerfolg für #mastodon und das #fediVerse in dieser Runde ..
😮

That’s great to hear! Welcome to all our new friends from Brazil—excited to see the community grow! 🌍 #brazil #mastodon #welcome

Nice, now can we get at least one pt-br instance on joinmastodon.org? ursal.zone is available but has not heard back from you, apparently: https://ursal.zone/@Ursalzona/113055979622428538

Aug 10, 10 sign-ups from #Brazil. Aug 28, 152 sign-ups from Brazil. Today, 4.2k sign-ups from Brazil. Portuguese (Brazil) has already entered the list of top 8 active languages for the last 30 days.

Not nearly as big as the move to Bluesky, but its definitely an increase nonetheless.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

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.
in reply to Eugen Rochko

is this exclusively for this instance or for the network as a whole?
in reply to Eugen Rochko

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.

I just started getting traffic warnings from my Bluesky PDS, and Mastodon is a close second. Holy crap!
in reply to Eugen Rochko

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

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