Despite the unhappy circumstances, it’s kinda nice Chinese and Americans interacting on social media.

The fact this isn’t typically possible because of bans in China is not so nice. Neither is the fact the US is going down the same road instead of proper privacy laws.

But still, kinda nice

People are people no matter where they live, which also means you can’t trust any government anywhere. Propaganda is powerful.

The idea of a social credit score has always been hilarious to me, like yo bros we have credit scores over here and they legitimately fuck us over since you need good credit to do alot of things like renting a place to live.

I always thought social credit thing is just in memes

Lmao

Well tbf, even though it’s strictly banned in China there are still some cases of it happening in rural areas.

As a civ player, I know a cultural victory when I see one.

wow the level of cope in this thread (thankfully not that many tho) arguing over stats - which are probably made up anyway.

some people can’t handle that most humans just wanna be friends regardless of gov politics bs

It’s funny that Xiaohongshu is popping off right on the cusp of a TikTok ban. They’re not even flocking to established US alternatives.

The social score thing isn’t really propaganda as much as it is idiots believing whatever they read. It started from what was essentially thinly veiled racism, and became “true” because people kept hearing it.

Daamn, it’s so nice that nobody invented lying on Chinese internet yet, otherwise shit would be so embarrassing

Where the Uyghur concentration camps fake too?

😮😮😮😮

Time can’t eat away, nor can we be led astray, we’ll still remember that day, from Beijing to Taipei…

Stop circlejerking the CCP assholes. While the US system is not great, it’s better than one party totalitarian dictatorship.

I’m getting tired of all this propaganda… I honestly may leave Lemmy if this keeps up.

“Everything” we’ve heard about China is a lie? Are you people for fucking real?
