You keep on coping there little buddy. What's happening is that regular people from both countries are now talking directly to each other, and finding out what life is actually like.

Uhhh, not exactly regular people. From what I've seen from the Rednote, at least my feed is wealthy upper-middle or upper class, while the Americans are from low to middle class.

not what I see in my feed, might depend on the interests you picked and whom you followed, etc

what was preventing them from doing it before?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 25 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Lack of will on the part of Americans to engage on Chinese platforms like Xiaohongshu. The looming TikTok ban is what pushed people over the edge.

tiktok is chinese tho so where were all the chinese users?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 24 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

TikTok is a Chinese built platform, but it's built strictly for users outside of China. The Chinese version of TikTok is Douyin. You could've googled this yourself in the time it took you to write this comment.

Why are hexbears so rude, all I did was ask questions

::: spoiler disclaimer
This is a bit. I know you're not on hexbear and I don't think you're rude. I'm just parroting the line a lot of smug libs say upion getting rightly called out for behaving like assholes

I love how these types of trolls think they're being very sophisticated.

At first I downvoted, then I saw username@hexbear, then I laughed and upvoted.

Why? Tiktok is availabe in multiple countries with completely different language, culture and laws so why not China? Why have a different version of the app specifically for china?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm curious, what does this line of questioning have to do with my original comment?
