one last banger stolen from rednote

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.

[spujb@lemmy.cafe]

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.

[nimble@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

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

[spujb@lemmy.cafe]

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.

[asafum@feddit.nl]

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

You can browse without an account by going to the site and clicking x at the the login popup.

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.

[ysjet@lemmy.world]

Good, that means you're smarter than all the people in this thread using it.

[spujb@lemmy.cafe]

Imagine being so unaware that you think memes are all there is. Recipes, cooking, fashion, sciences, education, music and everything else in high quality high effort are also over there. So you’re just wrong lol.

[alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml]

Feeling superior for not investigating is the sign of a very smart individual.

After all, since you know everything, there's no reason to even try to learn.

[mojave@lemmy.world]

Go outside

[spujb@lemmy.cafe]

ur rude blocked

[ysjet@lemmy.world]

Nice straw man.

[gregorgizeh@lemmy.zip]

I don't know why you are so defensive about this and at this point i don't really care, def not enough to make an account with china lol. I also specifically said they keep the westerners away from the Chinese feeds, not the reverse, so that proves nothing even if i did make one.

[spujb@lemmy.cafe]

Yeah it goes both ways. Chinese users are seeing US users and US users are seeing Chinese user. I have facts on my side bud. I just call people out who make shit up. Blocked.

Being a wage slave is universal.

[gregorgizeh@lemmy.zip]

By that logic nothing you said has any evidence linked behind it either, so, for all intents and purposes you haven't called anyone out just made up shit yourself out of pettiness, and because you are oddly defensive about the topic.
I didn't personally attack you or anything so I'm not sure why you are so vehemently defensive about some random news tidbit in the first place.

I just shared what i read and saw in another lemmy post on the subject, and said from the beginning feel free to disregard because I don't have the link.
Either way, feel free to calm down, or go on another unneeded snarky comment spree, I won't be seeing any of it, I find your passive aggressive style of communication very irritating.

[atlas@sh.itjust.works]

my guy is ready to die for a chinese spyware app lmao

you haven't provided shit either btw, and honestly look like you're getting in your feels over people calling it out for what it is: chinese spyware.
