Obviously most apps are stealing your data but people's reactions to Temu are literally insane. They have a thing where they'll literally paypal you £20-£40 to refer other users, I was 1 referral away and 2 friends wouldn't download it because it's Chinese. Another two friends said that people they know had money stolen by it... like, legality and possibility aside yes, I'm sure Pinduoduo, one of the BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD needs to steal your last tenner

why would one of the BIGGEST COMPANIES IN THE WORLD need

You can say the exact same thing about PayPal which is known to 'misplace' people's money and make it extremely difficult to get back. I don't see how any other fintech company would be different.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
