My chinese ex trying to teach me to say hello:

ex: "say 'ni hao'"

me: "ni hao"

ex: "no, more like, 'ni hao'"

me: "ni hao"

ex: "almost, try again: 'ni hao'"

me: "ni hao"

ex: "great! perfect!"

me: "ni hao"

ex: "oh no not at all like that"

and so on

which iss all to say I really respect people who are able to learn languages as adults. it is difficult!

doesn’t have a whole lot of English language content to consume

that makes some kind of sense. tho vague

Redirecting some to Hexbear would be great for agitprop purposes

that doesn't make sense. this site hate libs. you want to invite a bunch of libs, conservatives etc to join it?

I feel like hb needs a front site where everyone is nice.

Idk would you really consider a teacher a snitch? to my mind (as a child) she is an authority figure who is structurally in opposition to one's interests. not so much a snitch a class enemy. "snitch " is a term applied to an equal.

Oh ya I forgot about moving the servers to Texas. Important detail! You are correct.

I also agree that this really disincentivizes attempting to appease the US. Any company who has even the slightest chance of running against them should do everything to stay out of their jurisdiction. And since who the target might be is pretty much unpredictable, that'll be all of them who aren't per se boot lickers.

as far as I understand it is purely speculative

for many countries you can get temporary or permanent access to a VOIP phone number for texts. do you need to keep access to it for continual login verification, or is it one-time only?

Did you ever see the TV series Hollywood? It was the 1950s and had sexy full service gas station. In the show, Rock Hudson worked there.

I am totally confused.

  • Tiktok might be "banned" because of its association with China. Isn't fleeing to another Chinese platform kind of stupid? Wouldn't it be vulnerable to the same thing?
  • The point of this is to motivate tik tok users to move to Xiaohongshu? Or it is to draw attention to hexbear on Xiaohongshu?
  • This is a shopping website?
  • Why do you think the tik tok audience is "pliable"?
