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?
