For Brazil I’d suggest Curitiba or Florianópolis as the safest and most likely welcoming. Other cities might be more welcoming but less safe, or more safe and less welcoming.

Peertube still needs improvements to start looking attractive.

While it is technically federated, using it still feels like it’s just a bunch of small disjointed sites.

I completely agree. Here in Brazil there’s a great example of how badly these binaries fail with Getúlio Vargas.

He got into power with the help of the fascists against the communists. But he was an ultranationalist and those were foreign ideologies, so he persecuted both.

He instituted many workers’ rights and was called big father of the poor, but was also a cruel dictator who committed genocide against the natives, and also persecuted white Europeans who did not had Brazilian culture.

After being deposed he got reelected and committed suicide in a way that saved Brazilian democracy from a military coup.

Strong evidence for the horseshoe theory.
