It amazes me how people apparently can't live without watching shitty videos all the time... Oh, well.

It’s an addiction. No other way to describe it. Like your coke dealer ran out so you gotta switch to crack instead.
It's not really an 'addiction.' It's a culture.
People don't value things that take time or effort anymore. All they want is their instant-gratification to forget about their shitty lives a little bit longer. Short-form video and posts provide this for them.
It's all according to plan to keep people apathetic until the day they die. That way, they never fight back against the people pulling their strings.
Rednote with multiple SIMULTANEOUS video feeds sounds like a whole new level of brain rot

China: we’re supposed to be doing the influencing here.
Even international spy networks are worried about American kids.
"may"

Lol. Lmao, even.
Jk, my real thoughts is: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Most of my lab mates are Chinese and I joined WeChat because it was what they all used. Everything was fine except my account kept getting banned for no reason. I had assumed it might be because I accidentally turned on a VPN, but ultimately I concluded it was because they didn’t want the intermingling of Chinese and American accounts, which was literally the only reason I was there in the first place.

Is this some biological instinct to ensure gene diversity?
Maybe. We should be attracted to people different to us for the healthiest babies
It really is a tale as old as time.

I tried to challenge some ideas in World News and I guess asking questions about Chinese censorship is xenophobic. Now I'm banned for not being pro Chinese censorship.

There’s your problem. If they stated their rules, rather than forcing people to figure them out by trial and error, I’d have less of an issue with it. Like, lemmygrad is explicit in its intent and they state it outright in their rules. Lemmy.ml plays it too coy, and so comes off as incredibly manipulative.
Rule 1 - whatever we decide it is at that moment
You just broke the secret law!
Typical fascist behavior.

The irony.
RedNote's Chinese name, Xiaohongshu, literally translates to "Little Red Book," which seems like a direct reference to a book of quotes from Chinese communist leader Mao Tse-tung. But The Washington Post reported that the app is designed to be apolitical and its co-founder, Mao, maintains that the name instead pays "homage to the colors of his college," Stanford Business School, and his former employer, Bain Capital.
Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeetthefuckouttahere!

That’s fair. Our own platforms are flooded with government astroturfers. They wouldn’t want those leaking in.
