Thank god, now you can indulge in all your favorite conservative fantasies under the paternalistic gaze of the PRC.

That was the goal, right?

Yeah I'm not crazy about it either. I wish there was some sort of federated solution in place similar to how Mastodon/BlueSky* were there and ready to go

*bsky is still largely a single instance website and can turn off federation at any time

I may not always be the biggest fan of my government, but I would never willingly download a Chinese social media app because I trust communist China infinitely less. Never again, at least. My teen years were dumb and reckless and I'm glad I've grown since then.

Love it when people post stories of growth! We really need more of this.
