The hoops they jump through when Loops is right here…

Loops as a ways to go before it's usable for everyone.

They don’t want a system free from state control and open for abuse.

They want to be fed what to think.

Isn't Xiao Hong Shu a chinese speaking platform? Why would they go there?

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is tiktok promoting content that says to move to that platform? Cause if so, gov might have a point about Chinese manipulation lol

No, the users wanted to paint a big "🖕" to the U.S. government for banning the app. A user made a video saying: "they underestimated our level of pettiness". Some were also uninstalling apps like Instagram.

But surprising at all. The US is full of morons. They just reelected Trump.

I absolutely love redNOTE. It's not like TikTok or any American social media. They actually care about there citizens in China. No space labor, free healthcare, and there app has no forced ads every few seconds. There's a shop on it you can go to if you click on it. That's it. There's genuine people on it. Chinese people are very welcoming and accepting which Americans are not.

Though this world was fucked because I thought humans where trash and horrible people.

Guess it was just western countries that are horrible.

I think I would like space labor to be honest. Being a space miner sounds hella cool.
