China: we’re supposed to be doing the influencing here.
The irony in this is fucking delightful. No one wants Americans using this kind of brain rot social media. Maybe that’s a sign…
or maybe they want to maintain control of the oppressed citizens of China?
Maybe this whole blogpost is just commenting on what random people said on reddit.
Oh look, that’s exactly what it is.
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
Nobody should be surprised by this.
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.
Idk, I went on there earlier and watched some of the live interactions, there does seem to be a large amount of English speaking people who are messaging the live creators and the creators are responding in their best possible English.
It’s actually quite nice to see two different cultures coming together.
But I’m sure that if they wall off the rest of China to the US users the app will lose its shine and people will move on somewhere else.
What did the FUD surrounding Tiktok (and Huawei) feel like to you?
Every government is scared of these dumb kids lol
The irony.
RedNote’s Chinese name, Xiaohongshu, literally translates to “Little Red Book,” which seems like a direct reference to a book of quotes from Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-tung. But The Washington Post reported that the app is designed to be apolitical and its co-founder, Mao, maintains that the name instead pays “homage to the colors of his college,” Stanford Business School, and his former employer, Bain Capital.
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeetthefuckouttahere!
“Homage to the fact that they’re going get what’s coming”
You wouldn’t expect anyone named Mao to be political, so that checks out. His brothers Lenin and Stalin are equally apolitical.
It seems they really don’t want our regarded degens spoiling their peasants haha
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.
The scalability is my concern too. It took me like 8 days after I signed up before I got my login to Loops.
Gotta say I really like it, though
Is it federated?
Not sure why we’re all excited for the next centralized platform. We should be rolling up our sleeves and figuring out ways to implement decentralized protocols so anyone can their platform.
I signed for loops for awhile. Still no account.
It was waitlist for a while, not sure if it still is but I got my welcome email like a week later.
I was able to make my account immediately, just this morning. Not on Google Play yet though, had to download the apk manually.
How long did you wait? I submitted for an account a few days ago. Not even a confirmation email saying anything.
No waiting; the email was in my inbox as soon as I applied.
Lol. Lmao, even.
Jk, my real thoughts is: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Even international spy networks are worried about American kids.
A wee quote from the author of the original little red book …:
the two slogans – let a hundred flowers blossom and let a hundred schools of thought contend – have no class character; the proletariat can turn them to account, and so can the bourgeoisie or others. Different classes, strata and social groups each have their own views on what are fragrant flowers and what are poisonous weeds.Seemed a good idea at the time, remember how that trick evolved thereafter …?
Hahaha
