Might wanna look up this shit before exclaiming: "whoah tiktok is sooooo anti-imperialist! soon we're gonna have a proletarian revolution!!!"

I can't stand them, mainly because there are always people flying around in them and weaving through pedestrian (and car traffic for that matter) and almost colliding into everyone in sight. And there are so many people that don't even have driver's licenses that are flying around in those things.

You really think that the UK might not exist within a decade? I honestly think that's idealistic/wishful thinking.

I wouldn't be so hasty with that. I could totally see the tiktokers going back to tiktok. I say this because rednote isn't really a tiktok substitute, it's more of a chinese instagram. If the tiktokers went to douyin that would be different.

 

The average Homo sapiens father has always been older than the average Homo sapiens mother, the study found, with men becoming parents at 30.7 years old, versus 23.2 years for women.

It's interesting that this trend extends even past the agricultural evolution, back during the "communistic" hunter-gatherer societies.

Looks like I may have been right about rednote being overhyped.

I didn't say it's reactionary, for one. But anyways, I literally explained it, it drowns out serious things like mutual aid. It will also discourage anyone from posting about mutual aid because they might have been drowned out by these posts in the past. They will see how their mutual aid request gets barely any traction while a "hey pooop shit fart beanis" post gets proportionally way more likes/upvotes/traffic. They might wonder if this really is a good place to seek help. Any potential comrades might be dissuaded by the literal shit in this posts. And on and on.

The whole “badposting and fake news actively harms comrades” posting is exactly what I think people need to stop. “I don’t understand this or don’t want to participate in this” is a far cry from “this is systemically harmful or reactionary.”

Actually I think it's more like "I don't understand how someone could see this as harmful because I CERTAINLY DON'T so let's keep the harmful stuff." That's what you sound like tbh. You fail to see how it is harmful and you're projecting that on others and essentially gaslighting them by telling them that their concerns aren't valid. Actually kinda toxic tbh.

 

I don't know, it just reminds me of when Musk bought twitter and ppl online (especially this site) were like "hahahahah it's gonna implode in a week loolololol" and guess what, twitter is still around and now Musk is even more politically powerful. It kind of reminds me of how ppl were hyping up mastadon, blue sky, etc. and honestly who really uses those sites?

There's also the language barrier, like are ppl actually gonna seriously try to learn Chinese? Just installing duolingo and maybe doing a two day streak is what I predict most people will do. Btw learning a language from duolingo is like learning about socialism from AOC, i.e. it's actually harmful.

I just see this as a media hype cycle that will die down in a week or two and it's frustrating that ppl who call themselves materialists are now putting their faith (ironic right?) into some magical app just because it's controlled by a Chinese company, etc. The same ppl who say that real agitation/organizing/etc. is done offline are now advocating for some pure online shit and honestly just basing it off pure vibes. Kinda cringe.
