To bad they didn't hear about Loops. I don't use this stuff so I have no idea if it's good or not, but it's not Chinese or collecting your data so it would be worth a try. Although if 400k users flooded it I have serious doubts they could scale to meet a demand like that.
Wait - so this is the CCP directly censoring a whole worldview from its citizens.
But I was told on several lemmy threads that the CCP lets their users consume any content, and all the censorship is American propaganda to make the great leader look bad.
Got any evidence for this censorship claim? I’ll even accept dubious screenshots.
Yeah sure it's right here in the thread you're in
The source of this article is “Some Reddit users have speculated” which is like the polar opposite of evidence soooooo try again.
There has been no official announcement that such a change is coming, but Reddit commenters speculated that possibly the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was requiring a change to stop American TikTokers from using the app to influence Chinese citizens.
Ugh why would you read the article? Did you not understand the assignment? So cringe.
Can’t have them getting ideas like tolerance for minorities.
Not from America. America is full of hatred towards minorities.
Oh come off it mate. It’s not hard to see where the US has lead the charge in topics such as LGBT+ rights or racial equality, and it wasn’t from Asia or Europe let me tell you that much.
They may have a shit ton of flaws, and have a large part actively trying to undo all their work, but they have still done so much positive.
Look at the timeline for marriage equality for instance, they were right up there with the first wave leading the global surge. That doesn’t happen if you’re full of hatred for them.
They’re a dichotomy of amazing social progressivism and brutal conservatism.
LOL
Kinda like how Chinese citizens can’t use tiktok either. Wonder why…
Tiktok is for westoid plebs... They got different agendas for daddy's property v their own subjects
The irony in this is fucking delightful. No one wants Americans using this kind of brain rot social media. Maybe that's a sign....
I tried to challenge some ideas in World News and I guess asking questions about Chinese censorship is xenophobic. Now I'm banned for not being pro Chinese censorship.
Well, there's also the racism
Every government is scared of these dumb kids lol
That’s fair. Our own platforms are flooded with government astroturfers. They wouldn’t want those leaking in.
Go for it. I have my doubts that there is really any mass migration of English language users to an all Chinese website to begin with. The whole thing feels like a propaganda campaign.
This migration of American to RedNote just proves how god damn stupid the Average American really is.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
