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

[–] Hellmo_Luciferrari@lemm.ee -2 points 7 hours ago (11 children)

Not from America. America is full of hatred towards minorities.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Not significantly more than anywhere else.

[+] Hellmo_Luciferrari@lemm.ee -9 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I didn't compare to any place. I just stated America is filled with hatred towards minorities.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

You singled it out. Which was incorrect. Hatred of minorities is common in every culture on every continent of the Earth. It's a basic human nature thing. And America isn't special in that respect. Hell when you get into large monocultures like China Etc the racism and hatred of minorities gets even more extreme and specific. In fact a lot of those hatreds have been imported from all over. The Koreans hatred of the japanese. The Japanese is hatred of the Chinese and vice versa. Various Indian sects hatred of each other. And the colorful bigotry of Europe and the Mediterranean. But one thing it is also produced here in America that is a little less common than elsewhere. Are people that actually are much more tolerant and supportive of minorities. Unfortunately they're not the ones in control but they do exist.

Singling out a problem that exists in a country I am very familiar with is a non problem. I didn't state it was special to America. I didn't speak on any other nation and their hatred of minorities. I didn't even state anything about it being part of "human nature."

I spoke on being familiar with the fact that it is a problem in America.

LOL

Kinda like how Chinese citizens can’t use tiktok either. Wonder why…

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 10 points 6 hours ago

Tiktok is for westoid plebs... They got different agendas for daddy's property v their own subjects

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 14 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

To bad they didn't hear about Loops. I don't use this stuff so I have no idea if it's good or not, but it's not Chinese or collecting your data so it would be worth a try. Although if 400k users flooded it I have serious doubts they could scale to meet a demand like that.

[–] RagnarokOnline@programming.dev 14 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

The scalability is my concern too. It took me like 8 days after I signed up before I got my login to Loops.

Gotta say I really like it, though

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I signed for loops for awhile. Still no account.

[–] BakedCatboy@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It was waitlist for a while, not sure if it still is but I got my welcome email like a week later.

[–] STUNT_GRANNY@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

I was able to make my account immediately, just this morning. Not on Google Play yet though, had to download the apk manually.

It seems they really don't want our regarded degens spoiling their peasants haha

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 15 points 8 hours ago

To the surprise of some people I guess but certainly not to chinese users.

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 hours ago

LMAO

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Go for it. I have my doubts that there is really any mass migration of English language users to an all Chinese website to begin with. The whole thing feels like a propaganda campaign.

Just a few days after more than 700 million new users flooded RedNote…

A Beijing-based independent industry analyst, Liu Xingliang, told Reuters that RedNote was "caught unprepared" by the influx of users.
