Text for readability:

So far, Americans using RedNote have said they don't care if China has access to their data. Viral videos on TikTok in recent days have shown Americans jokingly saying they will miss their personal "Chinese spy," while others say they are purposefully giving RedNote access to their data in a show of protest against the wishes of the U.S. government.

"This also highlights the fact that people are thirsty for platforms that aren't controlled by the same few oligarchs," Quintin said. "People will happily jump to another platform even if it presents new, unknown risks."

Riiight. I have an alt account on .ml (like you would know if you bothered to read linked my comment, instead of replying to only a chunk of my comment) but I am the one who don't understand that instance....suuure.

Oh I did, you mostly just regurgitated the same points. Also, I don't know why you keep going on and on about having a .ml alt. .ml is in fact federated with .world and .ee (unfortunately) so you don't need an alt to engage with them. If you're saying that you have a .ml alt so you get "treated better" over there then that's a whole problem on its own.

All of this is false. Just because there are SOME extreme users, it doesn't mean the whole instance is like that. By the same standard, when I see a Trump meme or with Confederate flags or with transphobic content, I should generalize for the whole instance too, yes?

The examples you provided further show that you didn't really went to .ml with an open mind. I am not denying those facts, but the way you described them indicate you learned nothing. There are SO many posts already there that address all those examples and how historical revisionism and propaganda helped to muddy the waters. A lot of the things we know about those historical facts (and let's be honest - we're not historians. The things we know about those events, are mostly what was told to us and what we quickly scanned on a summary) are somewhat painted in a light that makes them appear more favorable to whoever has interests in the race.

"Some" like the fact that the admins and mods are the ones who are on the more extreme end? I don't deny that .ml has "normal" users, however, it's quite clear what kind of culture the admins and mods are trying to cultivate.

Nutomic btw is the head dev and main admin of .ml. but there's no transphobia over there huh?

I've never had any issues with the mods over there. Whenever I asked questions about ANY of those facts, I've always received very calm and detailed answers to those questions. Sometimes I was happy with their replies, sometimes I was not and my mind wasn't changed.

But certainly I didn't go in calling everyone a tankie and telling them they're all just a bunch of insane users who don't understand as much as you do.

Ofc not, you're fitting in quite nicely with the "culture"

I'm waisting my time. You keep ignoring my replies and bringing up new unrelated topics to avoid giving actual answers.

Have it your way. Goodbye
