I pretty sure these people he doxxed are really proud of themselves, because an amerikkkan billionaire "noticed" them and is "fighting for their freedom of speech".
Fuck Twitter and fuck Elon.
Not OP, but Hebrew uses RTL system like the Arab language.
Well, as a Linux user myself, I used to do this kind of thing when I was getting started and was too damn hyped about FOSS and everything. Now, I simply ask people what they want from a computer and how much are they invested into tech.
Do you want things to be as simple as possible? Use Mac or Windows.
Do you want to learn more about how things work under the hood? Use Linux.
Gaming? Use Windows (and yes, although I'm a proud Proton user, some games just won't work, like Valorant and PUBG).
Did he? I don't remember him saying "I've lost, it's alright guys" to his supporters. He've been saying there was a fraud in 2018 (which he fucking WON) and 2022 elections; he never came in public and said "Hey guys, could you please stop blocking roads, stop making protests all over Brazil and stop asking for a coup in front of the army barracks?".
After he lost, he simply vanished for almost a month, and neither the Federal Police nor the army under his command did something to stop the protests. In fact, an army general came in public and said to Bolsonaro supporters: "Don't lose faith" - even though they were causing chaos all over the country.
At last, we had Jan 8, which is equivalent to USA's Capitol riot. Bolsonaro supporters invaded the congress, the presidential palace and the supreme court, and trashed the places (fortunately, no one was working there this day). All of these things wouldn't happen if Bolsonaro came in public and accepted his defeat.

First off, thank you for your great response.
And yeah, I kinda get that "United States" is just a title, but in my native language (portuguese) we have a specific word for americans: "estadunidense", which basically means "person born in the USA"
I was just wondering if there was a similar word in english that could be used specifically to these people, just like we have in portuguese. But again, thanks for your answer.
Also, fun fact: Brazil was actually called "United States of Brazil" for a short period, and our flag looked like a copy of yours, but in yellow and green. But then our king (thankfully) decided to go just by "Brazil"
He's a billionaire, probably thinks he pays us peasants too much for what we deliver, and would absolutely replace us for slaves if he could
I'd love to see PeerTube grow just like these platforms, but I think it's a lot more complicated to get people to use it than mastodon/lemmy.
Twitter/Reddit weren't used as a major income source like YouTube and Instagram (I am saying this based on famous people in my country, I don't know how it goes on other places), and so are easier to replace. The people posting and discussing topics don't do that for the money, they do because they like it.
YT and its monetization system made possible for people to make a living from the content they produce, and many wouldn't like or simply couldn't sacrifice this income source just to go to a more ethical and private platform like PeerTube.
Why can't we have nice things? These people are literally just archiving and preserving old media, and if I recall correctly, they have strict rules of sharing these archived media.
I kinda understand why they got sued by Wiley/HarperCollins due to breaking the rules of sharing unlimited copies of archived books, but this time it doesn't look like it.
Honestly, I hope Internet Archive survives all these lawsuits they're dealing with
What pisses me off the most is that the local police rescued them. For context, Brazilian police is known for being extremely violent, shooting unarmed people, throwing suspects from bridges and even killing suspects with an improvised gas chamber; all of this mostly based on color.
If they were black or had a lot of tattoos, police would say they were gang members or drug traffickers, shoot them from behind and fake the crime scene.
Keep 'em coming, we'll show them why Brazil isn't for the faint of heart. Free Palestine 🇵🇸
P. S.: o que genocida tem mais que a gente? Tem mais é que se fuder muito KKKKKKKKKKKKKK
