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 π
Focus on Nostr, blue sky is irrelevant to the main platforms AND to our big picture.

... Iβve been living in Brazil for 2 years i havenβt 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 nΓΊmero de identitΓ‘rios depois dessa semana passada.
Good to look left and right, but best to look forward if thatβs where we want to go β€οΈ 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 nostrβ¦like real internet money :)
Welcome π€
Bring more!
Seja ben-vindo.
Same. Got on Nostr when I was booted from X. Welcome! ππΌπ€
I have some reading to do π
nips, zaps, relays lol
Now activate your zaps ππΌ
Thank you, liking what I see so far π
Welcome
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
Followed, Welcome to freedom of communication! π
Hereβs a short pdf you might find helpful: π.pdf 

Definitely get a lightning wallet address so you can receive zaps. Doesnβt look like you have one set up yet.

Spread the word β
Um monopΓ³lio da liberdade ou uma liberdade livre do monopΓ³lio?
Welcome.

Welcome in Brasil! Remember that the correct pronunciation is Brasil without the Z! π§π·βοΈ
Noob alert, I downloaded wallet of satoshi and added the email address to my profile, thats it right?

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 π
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 π
Welcome aboard π€
You mean't spelling
Set up your wallet so we can zap you some sats (bitcoin).
Welcome to Nostrπ§π·
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?π€
Fantastic
same
No one told you about the $8000 fines there if caught using VPN?
that is a good motivation indeed
now the β‘οΈ wallet!
Same here
Welcome!!
Same here!
Great to have you!
Itβs so much better hereβ¦ π«±πΌβπ«²π½ welcome
Spread the word!
welcome
itβs like twitter but more about freedom and bitcoin!
Followed. It is rumored that @npub1zjgy...4e8l (creator of #nostr) is Brazilian.
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. Youβll love it.
remember. the more you give nostr the more you get back.
Glad to have you!
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 βmildly self-satisfied and board-line smugβ rather than βgladβ as his post suggests after discovering Nostr.
Everything happens for the greater good, your post is proof of my belief π
Spread the word about #nostr and help your compatriots choose personal freedom over everything else. π
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
I'm neiter Brazilian nor the creator of nostr. I think you have @fiatjaf in mind
Fecharam o X??? π₯²
Welcome!
Welcome! π«
Welcome Drayah. π
Thanks π
that's good to hear
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 ! π« πͺππ₯π₯
I meant out country! ππ« β‘οΈ
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 vΓ£o ser absorvidos pelo nostr! #NostrOnly π§π·
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.
What exactly happened ?
And they can read all your DMs!
