    It’s more like a mix of Instagram and Pinterest. Short form video is frowned upon, they value longer and more thoughtful videos. It is definitely not TikTok, despite what the tiktok refugees initially thought.

    They are actively working on English localization and translation, and they include a feature to automatically add subtitles in both English and Mandarin when speaking either.

    It is a very welcoming community and it’s mostly people sharing pictures of their pets in the comments.

    It’s not “owned” by the Chinese government, but like every other corporation in China it is the government that holds corporations to account, not the other way around like in the US. And it’s more for worker protections and other regulations than it is for any sort of nefarious purposes.

      And it’s more for worker protections and other regulations

      The suicide nets indicate the worker protections aren’t all that great…

            Correct. It was American corporations putting up suicide nets around the facilities they owned that were exploiting rural Chinese people that didn’t fully understand their rights under Chinese law, and once again American corporate oligarchy flexed their influence to convince gullible Americans that this is somehow a failing of the Chinese government instead of American corporations doing what they always do, which is squeeze workers to the point of exhaustion.

            You have been lied to, and you are swallowing it whole. Open your eyes, friend. We are the baddies. We always have been.
