This migration of American to RedNote just proves how god damn stupid the Average American really is.

This is fucking stupid.

Our rulers are literally dictating who we can communicate with.

Which is why decentralised open source platforms are very important.

Worse part is that Chinese people overseas will no longer be able to connect with friends and family.

Wechat will always be allowed overseas and is the main method of communication, but the account creation process is of course a little more detailed than simply signing up with a phone number.

"May" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that title.

So, I cannot inform the Chinese about Mao murdering over 70 million people who disagreed with him and his CCP thugs. What about the Tiananmen Square massacre?

There has been no official announcement that such a change is coming, but Reddit commenters speculated that possibly the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was requiring a change to stop American TikTokers from using the app to influence Chinese citizens.

Ah, that trustworthy and unbiased group of China experts that are Redditors

Two sentences before this they were explaining quite clearly why chinese users might actually be bothered by the flood of american users and why they might want the ability to filter by IP region, but because some redditors speculated that the SeeSeePee doesn't want the Americans to spread their freedom-loving germs to their country then that must be why they'd do it, if that rumor were to be proven true

They recently added new translation features. I don't think it's going to happen.

I don't even like TikTok but I'm so happy with how hard this whole thing is backfiring. Warms my heart
