It is far fetched to you that China keeps up its internet segregation?
Each of their popular apps and services has a Chinese and a western version, specifically to ensure the government can maintain control over the domestic narrative.
I dont think even the most zealous tankies would contest that China routinely practices censorship to control the flow of information.
China wants to keep Western propaganda away from their people because it's capitalist swill. It's within their best interest to open up Chinese propaganda to Western audiences though. It's all about home field advantage.
Hence the wording of keeping the westerners away from the local feeds, not necessarily vice versa. Though the whole point is that the interesting new mixing of cultures stops either way, sadly.
Except I'm seeing a lot of Chinese posts in my fyp, and Chinese users commenting on English posts, implying english posts are coming up on chinese fyps.
In my opinion, it's been a beautiful and cultural exchange.
Go make an account then dude and see how many local Chinese feeds you will see. If it’s anything like my experience, it’s a lot. As of now you have provided zero evidence and are just assumption-mongering. ;)
I don't know why you are so defensive about this and at this point i don't really care, def not enough to make an account with china lol. I also specifically said they keep the westerners away from the Chinese feeds, not the reverse, so that proves nothing even if i did make one.
Yeah it goes both ways. Chinese users are seeing US users and US users are seeing Chinese users. I have facts on my side bud. I just call people out who make shit up. Blocked. <3
By that logic nothing you said has any evidence linked behind it either, so, for all intents and purposes you haven't called anyone out just made up shit yourself out of pettiness, and because you are oddly defensive about the topic. I didn't personally attack you or anything so I'm not sure why you are so vehemently defensive about some random news tidbit in the first place.
I just shared what i read and saw in another lemmy post on the subject, and said from the beginning feel free to disregard because I don't have the link. Either way, feel free to calm down, or go on another unneeded snarky comment spree, I won't be seeing any of it, I find your passive aggressive style of communication very irritating.
Dude just look at the app. There's no equivelence because the guy you're arguing at has evidence either of you can look at.
Here's a random post by an english speaker, most of the comments are chinese speakers so obviously it is showing up in chinese speakers feeds.
my guy is ready to die for a chinese spyware app lmao
you haven't provided shit either btw, and honestly look like you're getting in your feels over people calling it out for what it is: chinese spyware.
it is spyware! just like tiktok and instagram :3
i take issue not with that but with the random assertions that feeds are being kept separate :) here’s US and Chinese fans having fun in a post about American artist Chappel Roan!
Blocking you as well, thanks for letting me know you just like to argue.
