Imagine failing the trolly problem this hard, to kill 5 people all at once only to circle back and kill the 1 person you were looking out for

For those unaware of the news, you can skim this article by The Guardian (click me) for a start to your own understanding. I have a lot of thoughts that I don't have time to jot out today, but here's a quick thing I jotted up for nerds on my Discord:
Brazilian queers particularly furry artists are scrambling to find their footing in Bluesky and other alternatives, and based on the amount of blood in the water, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission might be taking another bloody chunk out of Elon's Nazi Parlor very soon.
Brazil's reasoning for the ban is following failure of Twitter to defend itself in court, as the Brazilian Supreme Court was waiting for a legal reply to a pending action. Twitter has of course facilitated misinformation and extremist organizations which irked the relatively-speaking still fascistic Brazillian state aparatus. You can read the Guardian's coverage which breaks that information down with specific claims and specific names.
Some Geopolitical context:
- Brazil is part of BRICs (wikipedia's entry on it, click here), which effectively is the 'we'll have our own Global Economy with Hookers and Blackjack' of key economic unions.
- You'll recognize some highlights, such as: Brazil, Russia, Iran, India, China, the UAE, South Africa, Egypt and Ethiopia. These guys could be called at best the losers of the Western-Dominated global economic institution established with the fall of the Soviet Union.
- BRICs is not responsible for the Twitter Situation, but you should be considering the context of the global economic alignment of ideologically adjacent entities such as the famously pro-democracy Russia and China. (That is a Sarchasm, don't fall in)
- Twitter's situation in Brazil is what happens when you fuck around as a Billionaire in a world full of geopolitical entities which have sources of power you can't just pay off.
This is your reminder to Decentralize your Online Alias, TODAY.
Governments like Brazil do not have the best track record of giving much of a shit about where it's queers hang out, and for the record Elon Musk doesn't care about us either. I know that doesn't need to be said for the average Cohoster, but it has to be stated.
hey yalls, my girlfriend aint doing the best financially right now, and she has some bills to pay that we are not sure she may be able to do so, so please if ya can please help us out.
