Mastodon relies on bottom-up advocacy. It doesn't have the backing of billionaires. I doubt that they have a PR team. So we need to promote it ourselves. Brazil-centered instances need to have their own outreach activities if they are interested in growing. There's very little that the core Mastodon can do except give interviews and maybe reach out to local instance administrators as situations arise... but that will be slow and haphazard.
For what it's worth, joinMastodon now lists three South American instances (one focused on Portuguese)

I'm not sure exactly which discussions you're referring to, but I think many of the objections are driven by the perception that the speakers are insincere. Publications that emphasize "both sides" are still covering a narrow range of perspectives. The same elite people speak their opinion about every topic (or select who will speak), while the vast majority of us are ignored. To top it off, may of those professional pundits/spokesmen are habitual liars and bullshitters, or just ignorant on the topics they speak about. They deserve to be ignored, yet they get all the attention. We don't benefit from hearing the same nonsense again and again, just repackaged for the latest fad.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution has been staying on top of the election administration drama in Georgia, as well as the state government in general. They currently have a 99 cent promotion to get online access for 12 weeks, which would last through the election (until Nov 13) - it's $3/week after that.

Is that serious? I saw a comment on that topic recently... if you inactivate some seemingly unrelated services on Windows, you can't use Calculator.

Tangentially. As a parent, I'm pretty peeved at how schools push kids to do everything through services like Gmail and completely fail to teach awareness of online privacy issues.
