one last banger stolen from rednote

Well… seems the content is awesome over the great wall. Maybe I should create an account there too.

Old news, predictably China is already adjusting the algorithms to keep the foreign users away from the feeds of the locals. They don't want westerners causing ripples in the water.

Old news

Literally not old news. Three days “old” at max.

keep the foreign users away from the feeds of the locals

Without a citation I am gonna call this a lie. I am seeing plenty of intermixing of feeds and communications going back and forth using translation tools. People are hanging out just by posting pics of their cat them communicating in emojis and gifs. I see no evidence of what you are saying.

Source is some other lemmy post about the subject, it had some translated pictures as well. I don't have a link at hand though so feel free to look around for it yourself or just disregard.

Cool thanks for asserting something far fetched with your evidence being “I saw a Lemmy post about it.” Top par comment right there.

Enjoy the rest of your day

It is far fetched to you that China keeps up its internet segregation?

Each of their popular apps and services has a Chinese and a western version, specifically to ensure the government can maintain control over the domestic narrative.

I dont think even the most zealous tankies would contest that China routinely practices censorship to control the flow of information.

China wants to keep Western propaganda away from their people because it's capitalist swill. It's within their best interest to open up Chinese propaganda to Western audiences though. It's all about home field advantage.

Hence the wording of keeping the westerners away from the local feeds, not necessarily vice versa. Though the whole point is that the interesting new mixing of cultures stops either way, sadly.

Go make an account then dude and see how many local Chinese feeds you will see. If it’s anything like my experience, it’s a lot. As of now you have provided zero evidence and are just assumption-mongering.

The number of "I don't have anything against LGBT+ people, just keep it to yourself" takes is kinda depressing. The algo has mostly stopped serving me posts those people comment on and gives me gay shit instead though.

Except I'm seeing a lot of Chinese posts in my fyp, and Chinese users commenting on English posts.

I mean, I don't really care to hear about straight people's genitals or sexual preferences either.

I'm so tempted to try it out, but I just really don't like downloading a "random" APK without at least knowing if there's a way to verify there's nothing malicious in the app.

Chinese or otherwise, it's all the same. Took me forever to trust the newpipe download... I'm just too cautious I guess.

it’s available on Apple’s Store and Google Play at least in my region. So it’s subject to the same restrictions and oversight every other app available through those platforms is, at least.

Idk about apple but for android that doesn't mean much

[email protected]

I’m not sure of the proportion, but malware incidents are much rarer on the App Store compared to Google Play.

You can use it in a browser, but it looks like only the phone version has an option for english menus.

Thanks for verifying! I tried looking last night but it just kept trying to have me download the app. I'll have to look again

Imagine being so addicted to low effort effort memes destroying your attention span that, given an opportunity to break free, you double down and prostitute yourselves to a hostile foreign power.
