It won’t ever scale to a real global default social network, on the donations and the kindness of strangers

The issue is: I don’t think people aren’t bothered enough with commercial social media to the point of paying for an alternative.

That’s not an ABSOLUTE true if you’re talking about Brazil. Yes, some people prefer to use the term “estadunidenses” over “americanos” for political reasons, but I’ve seen some people on the far left using the term “americanos” too.

Most Portugese words has 2-3 syllables and people tend to stick with shorter words.
