American Tiktok users would rather use ACTUAL Chinese spyware app than Meta. XiaoHongShu (meaning “Little Red Book”) and ChatGPT (for translating the Mandarin only app) are currently #1 and #2 on the App store.

Tug o war works because the rope is strong enough to withstand the pull. In online political tug o war, you’re the rope. Most people would naturally dislike the folks trying to turn them into rope.

USA = We are the only good guys.

Nobody but the gov itself and right-wing nutjobs is saying that.

It is in fact possible to criticize China, Russia, Iran AND the US at the same time

They are all complacent in crimes and human rights violations in one form or another

Domestic companies prefer foreign companies be banned. Competition is bad for business after all.

Yeah, but one of those governments can get you right now.

The other one has to cross international borders.

Honestly, using a foreign social media site is a hilarious move.

If I wanted to criticize the government, especially my own, I can see the reasoning behind using a foreign platform to do it on.

Am I missing something? Nothing in the ML thread you were in reads remotely close to flaming to me.

User could’ve been referring to:

Oh hi, you’re awake from your coma. A lot has happened in the last 40 years. Culottes came back, but are already out of fashion again. There’s more, but I’m not sure where to start.

It’s just like TikTok, but if you don’t drink milk in your tea, you will be exposed to corrective content as needed

Be the change you wish to see in the world! Just fork loops , add data collection, trackers, and whatever backdoor the government asks you and call it something like ‘Innit!’. Simple as.

Simply having the same or similar features alone doesn’t make it a viable replacement. I switched from Instagram to Pixelfed and went from hardly anyone seeing my photography to literally no one seeing it.
