Everyone just shows up in the same feed. USians are making posts in English alongside all the posts in Chinese. I've seen Chinese users making jokes like "Give me your data!" or "Welcome, I'm your new Chinese spy". I saw one comment on a post that read, "They better start posting in English soon." which, was getting heavily flamed. Lots of Luigi posting, it would seem. I also keep getting Chinese accounts posting a lot of really cool Socialist Realism art/propaganda posters, old and new. Lots of cringe USians making posts about being "refugees" on the app.

Someone asked why they like Luigi so much, this was the top response:

中国是一个倾向于集体主义的国家，如果有一个人为了集体去奉献自己，那他会得到大家的尊重。中国甚至有奖项专门去表彰和宣传那些舍己为人的好人[害羞R]我们这个民族延续至今也是因为有很多像他那样的人，为了公共利益不顾自己的生命[害羞R]

Google translate:

China is a country that tends to be collectivist. If a person dedicates himself to the collective, he will be respected by everyone. China even has awards to recognize and promote good people who sacrifice themselves for others [shy R] Our nation continues to this day because there are many people like him who risk their own lives for the public good [shy R]

Also saw this one:

还有一个，sorry我忘记他名字了，自焚在以色列大使馆前面的那个美国军人，我忘记他是否退役了。中华文化里，推崇为民请愿和为正义发声的人。

Google translate:

There is another one, sorry I forgot his name, the American soldier who set himself on fire in front of the Israeli Embassy. I forgot whether he was retired. In Chinese culture, people who petition for the people and speak out for justice are highly respected.

Response to that one:

Aaron, another hero[哭惹R][哭惹R][哭惹R]

Loving this app.

EDIT: This also came up pretty quickly:

After "big" events (at least as american reporting) I like to see what chinese commenters think about them, I might have to get the app just for that. I remember like a day or 2 after "the Adjuster" there were some comments confused about why Brian Thompson/CEO was killed and shouldn't the killer be going after shareholders which I thought was funny but also has its own insight from being further from the situation (pretty sure Brian was a big shareholder anyways)
