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

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.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think a Discord clone would need e2e encryption. Some large Discord servers have hundreds of thousands of users. I just think that if you want a small private communication channel, something like a Signal group would work better.
