Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.
- American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
- Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
- The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.
Good for them. People should be free to live their lives.
Tick tock is cancer though, yt shorts as well
I don’t like it either, but these fuckers clearly do, so at least they’re doing it in a way that isn’t basically a bunch of governments spoon feeding what they want Americans to think to them
Literally no difference between that and Lemmy.
It’s all social media and all has the same effect on us
You can’t really infinite scroll on Lemmy for hours watching content specific to your tastes.
You might get five minutes per day of mildly interesting content on Lemmy
Lemmy kind of sucks, that’s why I like it. Reddit to me was like beer and Lemmy is like non alcoholic beer. If stop drinking a non alcoholic beer is fine, but I don’t really need one every day.
yeah that is definitely part of the appeal!
another part is that the self selected crowd is a bit… cooler
