    In a separate post, a male user expressed frustration after RedNote censored a photo of his upper body. “Why can’t I post photos of my fitness and abs?” he asked, adding he had “never had such a problem on TikTok and Instagram.”

    A Chinese user suggested that he try covering his nipples, as Chinese social media platforms generally impose restrictions on displaying them when it is perceived as sexually suggestive.

    Oof ouch my male privilege

      Sure, the problem is, that male nipples are allowed in the West, not the other way round…

      You want to test that “Fediverse Freedom” say “every billionaire in the world, their wives, parents and children shall be torn apart with random farming machinery and/or prostituted to death whichever is funnier” and see what happens.

        Say that 14 years ago on reddit, and nobody would give a shit. Say it today on Lemmy and it’s not protected speech.

    I smell the same flavour of bullshit about RedNote that I do/did about Bluesky. The articles are so obviously Astro turfing.

      Bluesky is “fine” if what you want is Twitter without [as much] fascism. It’s a better user experience than Mastodon. The average user doesn’t care about federation and all the rough edges where you have to understand technical details in order to understand what’s going on is frustrating for them.

      I hope Mastodon learns some lessons from Bluesky (curated follow/block lists, and curated feed algorithms) but I still hope federation is the future. Bluesky will eventually enshittify because it has financial backers who want a return and could give a fuck about uses or ethics. But for the time being it’s a good platform, and perhaps more importantly the best shot at breaking Twitter, and I will strategically support it while it remains a good alternative.

      Rednote I have no idea about. Not happy about Chinese propaganda and censorship, but not any happier about right-wing American propaganda and censorship, so fuck it. I haven’t made an account yet but I might at some point. TikTok was by far the best algorithm at delivering what I want to see in the moment, and as I only spent a handful of minutes a day on TikTok on average, that’s really valuable.

      Insta is useless as you seem to have to curate your feed to only be a single thing. Plus, fuck Meta in the ear. So if Rednote gets the content creators and the algorithm, I’ll probably check it out eventually.

      Twitter and all its alternatives always tend to get inflated coverage because twitter was essentially the journalists’ app, so they write about it more. Bluesky was the first “real” alternative I guess.

      Every time it’s being recommended it’s always falling apart because they can never actually come up with a safe ID verification system. It’s just idiot politicians who come up with these policies without thinking them through, don’t be praising that kind of lackluster thought process.

          No I’m saying that the execution has never been anywhere close to acceptable.

          I have not given my opinion on the matter one way or the other because it’s irrelevant

        The idea is solid even if the execution is awful. I didn’t say they were doing it WELL. Just that keeping track of who is doing what online will be v v v important is body enhancements grow in popularity. You really want black hats hacking people’s body parts? Lemmy is kek sometimes

          The idea itself of tracking everything everyone does has been awful since long before the internet even existed.

      Aussies aren’t giving anyone ID at this point in time

      There is currently no solution or implementation for the social media access law

        There’s no solution or implementation, and the law in place actually forbids social media from requiring ID as the means of age verification. But who knows what it’ll end up actually looking like, because even the politicians didn’t bother figuring that out before passing the law in under a week.

        Well they’re trending in that direction. Wise move honestly. We haven’t evolved to have smart phones or social media, especially children.

        Yes good you advocate for such a perfect world where everybody’s online activity can be constantly tracked. Fuck yeah, surveillance states rock! I love it when laws exist that require me to offer my full name, dob and address to every shady website in existence! /s

        In regards to you coming to a tech forum, making tech commentary, and then thinking everyone else is ignorant for disagreeing with you, might I offer you some light reading?
