The highlights of this weeks news of Bluesky and the fediverse: - Bluesky now has 10 million accounts, and around 5.5m mau - Most growth comes from the Brazilian community after Brazil banned X (around 4m) - Mozilla.social, a mastodon server by mozilla shuts down after it never left closed beta - Mastodon gets a small grant to start building a Relay and Discovery system for the network - Bluesky now has video - A major viral moment (a politician hitting another with a chair during a tv debate) shows that the main brazilian community is happening on bluesky, but not on Threads https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-fediverse-ep-84/ https://fediversereport.com/last-week-in-the-atmosphere/

How has the Bluesky network vibe been affected by the influx of Brazilian users? Good / neutral / bad?

mostly pretty good, brazilians are very funny and good memers. big shift in network culture though, for the better. bluesky, especially in early days, was super insular, with a lot of people that have Terminal Online Posting Disease. led to some absolutely crazy Discourse, which was mostly very funny and batshit insane (someone tried to cancel dril for allegedly being anti-sexworker at some point lmao). so the new influx balances out the crazy, which is good. i even see the terminal online posters say this is good lol

Are people worried that being too concentrated in a foreign country while being built in the US will end up in Orkut 2.0?

not something i see a lot of people talking about no personally i think building on top of an open protocol makes it too different to call it orkut 2.0, but def some potential for some strange not-great situations to arrive yeah when your userbase is all located in quite a diff country than the devs

seems like bsky is also starting to experiment with geofencing their moderation infra, but i havent really done a deep dive into that since that just came out and things are unclear on that front still id expect complications more to arrive on that front as far as i can tell right now
