Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I would like to introduce Red Nibö, a new Ecko instance in the fediverse that opens a space for the discussion on science, technology and their social impact. The instance is aimed to the Latine community, so the main languages are Spanish and Portuguese but other languages are welcome too.

Thanks for the clarification. I agree to it and I think the term "Latine" is more appropriate since we can properly say it in Spanish and Portuguese. I am not aware of the state of the discussion in the US, therefore I chose to spell Latinx as a term that could include all genders (Latino/a/e), understanding x as a variable. Of course, your point is valid and we should avoid a term that is imposed by the white liberal wing. I am happy to learn from the discussion. It's much more valuable than the downvotes, which are harder to interpret.
