And you're going to have a hard time manufacturing consent for aggressive action against China when 170 million American TikTok Refugees are mutuals with half of the RedNote netizens.
This is absoLUTELY going to have diplomatic ramifications.

And they're having FUN.
Whew. It's going to be a wild ride.

Not only that, many are deleting all Meta/X accounts permanently, and arranging a weeklong blackout for those that keep their accounts.
And many of the Canadian/European/Australian TikTokers are following because they, "Miss the American humor and chaos."
It's gonna get wild, folks.
We called their bluff, and there's just no way around that.
Maybe they'll dig in their heels, but.......I'm not sure what that'll gain them.
It's going to be a wild ride.
I'm just telling you what people are saying and how they're responding.
It's a point I've often had to make ever since.
I mean, I called Q1-25 back in 2022 or so, using some deductive reasoning. But I wasn't that confident in the prediction.

Either way, the end result promises to be hilarious.
but i've also been to china (pre-transition) and seen first hand just how much chinese people generally like americans (esp. when compared to europeans + the british)
It's giving pretty heavy Pinterest vibes, which I'm okay with, though if you tap on a post you can swipe like Tiktok even if it's an image (kinda like Tumblr has with the dashboard the past few years)
AFAIK such communities exist in unofficial circles in China and have no official support by the government but aren't actively suppressed
I’m glad to hear people are discussing the human rights violations of both sides. I *very*
Bluesky could create a "media" feed only that just shows videos and images. So far, BS has seemed pretty cool but noticing some bots.
Sadly, once a place becomes popular, bots will soon follow. This is late-stage social media, where everyone already knows the rules of the game.
But I would double and triple check it’s the right one since news is breaking containment and copycat apps could pop up to trick people
It's also not video-based, and I know for a fact that many TikTokers I follow have been on Tumblr for years.
just curious.
also for "many [of the CEA TT] are following" ?
i prefer tamed, actually. mauve, even. or beige.
but i'm enjoying your thread just the same.
And it's also a bit illogical to talk about what China COULD do as if we should punish them like they've already done it.
Maybe I’ll check it out.
However after being on RedBook there ARE visible queer creators on the app.
It’s just a different censorship language that needs to be learned.
But that is because the Comm. Guidelines *require* you to be a medical professional to talk about anything medical.
There are strict misinformation guidelines on XHS as well.
I also followed
But yeah after scrolling a bit there are queer creators.
Reading the Com guidelines is super important!
Usually gets you on really big trouble FYI.
I don't think that it automatically follows that it "makes sense". It is what is happening, but that doesn't mean it "makes sense" per se.
Survival of the fittest, Predator vs. Prey.
Territory, land, resources etc all up for grabs and the strongest survive.
"Humanity" isn't stopping the pursuit of such goals, it's doing so without bloodshed that will lead to a collapse of 80% of the world population.
Past present and future tense verbs are all the same! Less words to learn! (I’m on day 2)
Nainai's dumplings might be awesome, but when nainai's grandkid gets jailed for interacting with American who said the wrong thing, what then?
