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 are bothered enough with commercial social media to the point of paying for an alternative. Think about it, even with the majority of Fedi instances being free to use, not many people stopped using Twitter/Reddit/Instagram. So I think Fedi instances need to be free to use while it's small to attract new users.
So if what you said is true, then it's going to be really hard for federated social media to get mass adoption.
Besides, I don't think we should have a black and white mentality here. Yes, we shouldn't use privacy-invasive Google software, but if they make an ethical software/hardware, why shouldn't we support it? It's actually a nice way to tell Google that there're ways to make money by making ethical products, like the Pixel phones.
Fairphone has actually managed to reverse engineer some of the drivers
Isn't that illegal?
To be honest I don't know, "estadunidense" is not as used as "americano", but I do think you're right. People who use "estadunidense" tend to be more anti-US.
When they aren’t imperialist bootlickers.
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. The problem is that "estadunidense" is a long word, even if it has just one additional syllable compared to "americanos". Most Portugese words has 2-3 syllables and people tend to stick with shorter words.
I read a translation of Crime and Punishment which I think was made by an AI. There were a lot of weird structured sentences. Besides, the translation kept missing the characters' genders. Like, a female character was constantly mentioned by male pronouns and so on.
And it makes no sense, how can you prove it's generated by YOUR AI?
