Even international spy networks are worried about American kids.

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

This is a hilarious turn of events.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 12 points 3 hours ago

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

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

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

[–] LaLuzDelSol@lemmy.world 20 points 6 hours ago

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 32 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

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!

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 13 points 6 hours ago

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

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

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 60 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (21 children)

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.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

I jive with you, Türkiye!

[–] K1nsey6@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You weren't trying to challenge ideas. You were regurgitating US propaganda.

[–] JiveTurkey@lemmy.world 0 points 49 minutes ago

Just asking questions instead of excusing it all under the guise of propaganda. I have no doubt some of it is, but all of it?

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 75 points 10 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.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 30 points 9 hours ago

You just broke the secret law!

Typical fascist behavior.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 18 points 8 hours ago

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

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

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 27 points 6 hours ago

Lactose tolerant?

Americans: Got damn, asians are HOT

Chinese (apparently): Got damn, Americans are HOT

Humans gonna human ig LMAO

[–] 1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 hours ago

Is this some biological instinct to ensure gene diversity?

[–] DesolateMood@lemm.ee 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

The grass is always greener I guess

Asian "grass" is usually darker.
