Yeah, but won't those 1 million all be speaking spanish?
Nope, portuguese
This is the thing I dislike more about Mastodon, I do not know if Lemmy handles it differently, but I don't have this problem with Lemmy.

Potato/Tomato.
I guess some people don't get the joke.
The sayings potato/potahto and tomato/tomahto mean they're the same thing.
No one in their right mind would say a potato is a tomato or vice versa, just like no one would ever argue Portuguese and Spanish are the same. They're both of a category (veggies and languages respectively) but totally different and distinct items within that category.
First person to get it right.
It’s 2m now.
