Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.

Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.

The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

This might have an interesting side effect. Western voices and opinions being shared enmasse with Chinese youths on platforms they're comfortable with. It will be interesting to see how the Chinese government responds to this

It will be interesting to see how the ~~Chinese~~ US government responds to this

That's easy. Some more propaganda about hating the everyday Chinese person (who we have far more in common with) and banning the app.

Literally no difference between that and Lemmy.

It's all social media and all has the same effect on us

I thought the difference in humor would take a while to bridge but it's very familiar. Day in the life of an american type videos with road rage, burgers, shitcoins, podcasts and pancakes

The hexies are so excited about this too. They've got a thread up (erroneously) hoping that Americans will now stop believing that Chinese people are bad, because they can't face the truth that Americans (who aren't magats) only think the Chinese government is an authoritarian shit show and have no problem with regular Chinese citizens.

Solidarity amongst the working class, no matter what imaginary made up boundaries divide us.

Xenophobia and racism exist in America outside of the trump ultras. Hell, outside of the republican party even
