Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

This is whole xhs thing is right up hexbear's alley

I think I enjoy wechat a bit more for now because there are channels that do movie and tv show summaries so I can watch the latest slop (like the latest squid game) without wasting the same amount of time. The xhs algo hasn't yet done it for me. Lots of 'refugees' and cat vids, and lots of anglo tiktok content. Hopefully it starts to narrow down? But lmao at this comment I came across: A: why does he have no lips?
B: probably British

maw

Ohh shi this person lives in Hunchun which is at the PRC/DPRK/Russia border, that's super sick. It sounds like they do business and all 3 sides of the border. Somebody invite this person to the news mega lol.

Now that I'm getting "downstream recs" I'm (apparently) seeing a Chinese student attending a university in the DPRK film random shit from campus. Also there are south Koreans talking to them about the North in the comments.

Another one that would interest people here is this one where an American gets political and Chinese people respond in the comments with their thoughts:

It seems you need to preserve the xsec_source and xsec_token parameters, otherwise the link stops you from viewing the content without the app.

Genuinely can’t tell if ojbk, nb, 666 etc are actually real or if the Chinese lads are pulling one on us newcomers lol

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Not trolling, actual slang. NB is probably not for polite company though because the second character (that's now substituted with the letter or other homophones) means 'p*ssy'. You can skip that association entirely by just saying the first half {牛|niu} sounds like 'new'
