some are showing concern but from what i see it's a lot of excitement and curiosity. many americans are shockingly being polite and using AI to provide translations (possibly the only good thing AI is for)

It's the internet, if regular people from different groups, especially Americans and Chinese, the former of whom's government and media has been fomenting a cold war and racist propaganda for decades, can get together and have regular interactions I see that as an absolute win.

Luxemburg emphasized: “There can be no socialism outside the international solidarity of the proletariat.”

I love how comments there can have pictures in them, unlike TikTok. Someone posts dog and they get a dog tax paid stamp in reply

The dog/cat tax paid stamp is killing me

TikTok has been experimenting with that feature lately, only a few people have it right now for testing but you’ll see them sometimes

They don't care, and I'm have a feeling that the app will not put up with nonsense from foreigners. This is not a Meta subsidiary, don't forget.

As an example (as others have mentioned on here) that your country (or province, if inside the PRC) is shown on your profile cause of all the trolling from the Taiwanese.

If they need to ban Americans I'm sure they would, but why do that when you can just moderate them? At least give it a try...
