   the letter x in Portuguese may sound like 'z', 's', 'ks', or 'sh', depending on the word

     A friend of mine (who is also rights on the shortcomings of the #ActivityPub protocol) gently mocks the #Fediverse, because to him it sounds like "fed" like "the feds" (the federal police, the FBI, in the US).

     To which I fiercely mocked back: "fed" only sounds that bad maybe for people coming from the US, so I don't really mind, maybe we achieve a network that is less US-centric this way..?

     Today I realized: #Bluesky actually sounds like...BS! ("bullshit" in common English everywhere!)

     HA! 🧐
