The difference between virtue signalling commies and REAL commies (or close enough without famine) where they don't tolerate that gay degenerate shit lol.
They know degeneracy destabilizes.
It's basically a cultural weapon thrown at their enemies.
I had to: When the left try to bring degeneracy to commies
I thought this was going to be the "When do we get free healthcare, comrade?" Against-the-wall meme.
Are they really moving to rednote or is it this just marketing?
Why not? Remember the whole thing over Threads, Mastodon and now Bluesky?
Which means this won't last long, especially if the app doesn't tolerate radical wokeness
Eh. If they're posting Rainbow propaganda, no. But if they're posting divisive anti-American, pro-immigrant rhetoric, I'm sure the CCP monitors will be fine with this. It all depends if they're willing to compromise on one to max out on the other. It's possible.
I remember that my mother was watching TV, and I overheard this commercial about some show that showed viral internet videos. The ad said something like "Before Threads, and even before TikTok, these internet videos (etc)...", and I'm just like... what the fuck is threads? And this was like, RIGHT when Threads became a thing. They astroturfed the fuck out of it everywhere, like it was really some legitimate social media site that everyone was using.
"What do you mean, buddy? We've always been on Threads. Threads has always been here. Let's get you signed up. One of us!"
I prefer those commercials over the ones I get on Amazon's free programming. They're always the same -- Something something Mr. Beast, followed by Obamacare, followed by "take these pills if you like having lots of uncontrolled gay sex." Not joking.
Bluesky is already losing steam. It's down about 35% from its peak.

For better or worse, Twitter is where the party happens.
All these alt platforms, even Gab and Truth Social, turn into homogenous echo chambers.
Those avatars for male and female look like they have bucked teeth like a WW2 anti-Japanese propaganda poster, lol.
I'm holding off on seeing how the press react to this. If there's one "And that's a good thing!" you can guarantee that it's in the authoritarian pockets and not worth it (Not that I see the appeal of TikTok either).
"Red Note" is NOT the correct translation. It's actually called "Red Book," a clear reference to Mao's Little Red Book. They could not have picked a more hardcore Commie app! They need to just ban them ALL from the U.S. market, but nobody is talking about banning Chinese shopping apps like SHEIN, Temu, or CapCut, which collect ALL THE SAME user data.
So why not ban those apps? ... Because you can't politically organize on those apps. You can't "notice" things on those apps. This is about eliminating forums that allow us to escape (((Western))) censorship. It's not about "privacy." TikTok and Telegram never asked me for a credit card or my home address, unlike the shopping apps, so why not ban those first? Again, it's about controlling political narratives.
Not just Red Book. Explicitly Little Red Book.
小 Small
红 Red
书 Book
Indeed the direct translation is "Little Red Book" which is the name given to the one book which has outsold the Bible in the world written by Chairman Mao.
Chinese humour is good, but all humour is half truths.
What are you trying to say with that, pal? That's a typical CCP talking point: "China is the world leader in X," "China makes the most of X," but as well know, quantity does not imply quality. It's often quite the opposite, especially with China, its wares and its people.
It wouldn't be kia2 without m0r1arty making an inside joke that nobody outside his head can get. I severely doubt the Little Red Book outsold the Bible anyway, maybe on a "bestseller list" but not total sales
Ah. Thanks for the pointer.
I'm saying (Not trying to) that enforced sales upon the largest population of the planet at the time of its release made this particular book the number one 'bestseller' in the world so far.
The same way that John Lennon saying that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus was empirically correct too even though the ratio to impact margins were far off.
If facts aren't your forte then perhaps ambling into conversations requiring them shouldn't be your thing.
I happen to like China. I also happen to like the US. I think they are good for each other.
That said, a Biden in China or a Trudeau in the US would destroy that fragile relationship.
Well, I hate the CCP and I don't live in an abstract, theorical world to think otherwise. I live according to the facts. If facts aren't your forte then perhaps ambling into conversations requiring them shouldn't be your thing.
Here are some more facts: the CCP is an anti-Western dictatorship with a criminal culture that's incompatible with the West. They're not "good" for each other. China is undermining the West with slave labor, and now it's dumping cheap EVs into Europe, decimating local competitors who don't have slaves of their own to build their cars. The list goes on, but China must be stopped and excluded from Western economies until they agree to play on equal terms.
It breaks my heart that you have to use a device made by these imperialist bastards to communicate with me and live in a system inundated with dividends from their barbaric economy just because capitalism took full advantage of communism.
I prey that trade unions look favourably upon you and that capitalism will rise for the people once more.
China, Israel, or India -- faggots like you all suck one of those cocks. No exception!
Very communist.
I've no idea who was keeping the books with the numbers but mass mind enslavement is very communist and not at all something that I support.
But I'm still curious as to how and why TikTok is popular and so I clearly know very little about people.
The children yearn for the Vines.
I remember the Vines. I didn't understand them either but the TikTok seems to be even bigger than Vines and I've no idea as to why?!
They don't understand it's not just going to be just China enforcing this rules, the pendulum seems to be swinging other way pretty fast everywhere. Absolute schadenfreude they are going to go through for the next foreseeable future what the chuds went through last 15 years.
That's right, actual communists dont like that neoliberal LGBT bullshit. It might surprise people here but real communists and intersectionalists are not buddies.
Communism is not about individual freedom, it's about everybody conforming to a certain role for the "good of communism".
However, Tik Tok is a useful tool for subversion, that's its very goal. but Try that LGBT depraved shit in China and see how it goes.
Lol that's a huge improvement.
