I can verify that this is a fact according to my life experience in LATAM and makes a lot of sense to have such a LATAM (language) specific mailing list. > Mailing lists in plural sounds scary so I propose to start with the following: > > Name: tor-lang-es@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (according to #15140 [0] the main issue > in the past was the name). > > Purpose: General discussion in Spanish, including announcements, user > questions and technical discussion.

From what I know there are already a lot of people from LATAM there and many discussions take place in Portuñol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portu%C3%B1ol), this way we are not going to lose people in the process of moving/migrating to another mailing list. Since the global-south name is horrible and we have never gone into the process of changing I guess it will make sense to rename the list (and the IRC channe) and then announce it to the world as the LATAM Tor mailing list?
