Has anyone here come across Venezuelans on the Fediverse? I personally know only one Venezuelan refugee, and they live in Brazil.

If we don’t have a meaningful presence from the Global South or from other vulnerable regions, that, to me, exposes one of the key limitations of this social space.

Are we, in fact, just a small, relatively privileged group talking mostly among ourselves?
