Even international spy networks are worried about American kids.

They're gonna build a firewall, and the US is gonna pay for it!

A wee quote from the author of the original little red book ...:
"the two slogans -- let a hundred flowers blossom and let a hundred schools of thought contend -- have no class character; the proletariat can turn them to account, and so can the bourgeoisie or others. Different classes, strata and social groups each have their own views on what are fragrant flowers and what are poisonous weeds".

Seemed a good idea at the time, remember how that trick evolved thereafter ...?

This is a hilarious turn of events.

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

Luigi is now the most popular name for newborns in China.

Please let this be true 🤣

It amazes me how people apparently can't live without watching shitty videos all the time... Oh, well.

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

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

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

Man people will do anything not to drink Pepsi!

Ironically I stopped drinking soda because Pepsi got rid of the only soda I really liked.

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

I feel exactly the same way. It's like they can't imagine a world without it. When it's banned they'll have to fill their time just staring at the wall.

[–] MolecularCactus1324@lemmy.world 68 points 5 hours ago

China: we’re supposed to be doing the influencing here.

I tried to challenge some ideas in World News and I guess asking questions about Chinese censorship is xenophobic. Now I'm banned for not being pro Chinese censorship.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 59 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

.ml

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.

You just broke the secret law!

Typical fascist behavior.

RedNote's Chinese name, Xiaohongshu, literally translates to "Little Red Book," which seems like a direct reference to a book of quotes from Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-tung. But The Washington Post reported that the app is designed to be apolitical and its co-founder, Mao, maintains that the name instead pays "homage to the colors of his college," Stanford Business School, and his former employer, Bain Capital.

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeetthefuckouttahere!

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 3 points 3 hours ago

"Homage to the fact that they're going get what's coming"

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

Lactose tolerant?

It really is a tale as old as time.

When the femboy exchanges begin happening the world will finally begin to heal

Can’t have them getting ideas like tolerance for minorities.
