Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

In Brazil we mostly use "americano" to talk about people from the US, although "estadunidense" is also relatively common, especially among leftists, so a US citizen calling themselves American would be okay. Lots of us identify as Latin American, and we'll often say "we're all Americans" but it's more like a joke than actually identifying as such.
Having said that, however... any Brazilian who calls the United States "América" in Portuguese, has just about a 99% chance of being a complete fucking right wing aspiring comprador dumbass. It's one of the most telling signs that someone has terminal gusano brain.
Interesting! Thanks for clearing it up a bit. I don't like holding onto wrong information. My Michigan ass education can only go so far haha
