Imo it's more sad than hilarious. US users and Chinese users meeting each other on the platform and discovering they are interesting people who actually have a lot in common sounds like what I'd wish the internet to be.
It's not surprising, and I get the irony, but I feel more sad than amused.

This was the turn of events anyone who knows anything about China and the CCP (and how closely they control businesses there) would have expected.

I knew it was coming since that article yesterday about us Americans posting vids of 3D printed guns lmao

It’s an addiction. No other way to describe it. Like your coke dealer ran out so you gotta switch to crack instead.

Rednote with multiple SIMULTANEOUS video feeds sounds like a whole new level of brain rot

I find takes like this unfortunate. I learned SO much on TikTok. Accounts like gatenerd, jerrythink, kellyscleankitchen, softpourn, publicopinion, hankgreen, alexisanddean, thelawsayswhat, kylascan, and countless interior designers, architects, chefs, and all the others I can’t recall.

There is no other platform like TikTok where you can get drawn in not just in minutes watched, but in knowledge gained. Wish you shared my experience.

You wouldn't expect anyone named Mao to be political, so that checks out. His brothers Lenin and Stalin are equally apolitical.

I jive with you, Türkiye!

There’s your problem. If they stated their rules, rather than forcing people to figure them out by trial and error, I’d have less of an issue with it. Like, lemmygrad is explicit in its intent and they state it outright in their rules. Lemmy.ml plays it too coy, and so comes off as incredibly manipulative.

Oh gosh, I thought you meant .world World News for a minute there. Yeah the problem is .ml, they're tankies.

Americans: Got damn, asians are HOT

Chinese (apparently): Got damn, Americans are HOT

Humans gonna human ig LMAO

So if having an Asian fetish is called yellow fever in the West, what’s having a Caucasian fetish called in China?
