I actually am immediately seeing some significant class consciousness going on over there. Tiktok communities immediately bonded with the Chinese users over their love for Luigi Mangione. Politics discussion is not allowed on the app, but you can see the Chinese users communicate their feelings of the CCP in kind of a wink and nod manner.
Regarding your astroturfing comment… maybe? I think Lemmy forgets that fediverse and Reddit hate Instagram Facebook and Twitter exactly as much as the rest of the English speaking internet does. I would point out that the most astroturf-y thing that’s happened is from the hands of Congress. Americans are pretty much primed for this by the blatant xenophobia showed at those hearings and the phony “concern for user safety” when Meta and X with its demonstrable damages gets a free pass.
