  And I’ve never seen their posts on my feed… I’ll try searching some comms from there to here and see if it was just missing active federation.

  And being the cynical asshole that I am… It doesn’t surprise me at all, the technological ignorance is huge in latinamerica and we are stubborn as fuck, people just don’t want to learn or try anything different, even if it could be better.

  There's only one mexican instance, it uses a whitelist and it fucking federates with grad so... Yeah, out of options.

  I've been here since the reddit API exodus and I've never seen a latinamerican comm in my feed, much less latinamerican spanish posts.

  And hosting an instance is not that simple, it requires effort, content, time, some originality and money (even if a little)... And people who want to join, but I've seen maybe 1 mexican (who I assume lives in México too) other than me... Because mexicans love being strangled by meta, so there's little to no incentive into creating a space for us in the fediverse.

  Oh come on, mexican government! You're better than this!

  If you seriously believe that, you haven't been paying attention... And it will get WORSE.

  I can say I have, used to see a lot of propaganda from my country being constantly crossposted from ml and hexbear, since dbzero (among others) tolerates them, it helps them bypass the faulty defederation/blocking system that lemmy has so it kept appearing in my feed and I had to see accounts dedicated to defend the propaganda.
  Until I moved to Piefed and was able to actually block them (also this instance defederated them).

  Tribalism isn't always bad, sometimes it's needed to help take care of others by cutting off bad instances or instances that enable them. It's not black and white.

  As a mexican, this is waaay funnier than it should be

  Which one of those is closer to what Telegram brings to the table?
  Mostly pretty stuff like gifs/mp4/webm with alpha, stickers, animated stickers and handling things like webp/webm, self-destructing multimedia, chats that dissapear after X time... maybe groups and channels too, adding people by alias instead of phone number (maybe qr, but not a huge link like the one SimpleX uses).

  You know, things that could help me to bring my "friends" and family on board or at least to give it a try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨matrix is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because Matrix isn't exactly private since it's meant to be a Discord clone and I share piracy among my friends and family, or for the sexy times with my friends, I need something that at least has self-destructing messages or chats where messages dissapear after some time.

  I could trust it if I could self-host, but I lack the hardware (disk space, mostly) and the availability (I can't leave my pc on all the time [also I live in México, the internet is terrible and I tend to hog it if I'm downloading something]), so I'd have to trust some random yahoo with my stuff but it wouldn't have what I'm looking for anyway.
