Damn they’re giving up on this propaganda piece in just a few months?

Maybe because the US is gonna announce a Ukraine peace plan at the Munich conference I suppose?

At least they’re doing some things right

Good. Pirate it all if it makes the product FOSS and more efficient.

Maybe not in a vacuum, but compared to pretty much any other government in the world right now, they are still very much worthy of admiration lol

Finally a proper good open source model as all tech should be

Pretty sure that’s more like a human problem

Love how silly libs are about Mao lmao

Would be pretty cool if it were a reference to his works, but it seems to be a coincidence. Apparently Chinese people don’t really call it “little red book” and just call it 毛主席语录 (Máo Zhǔxí Yǔlù) aka “Quotations from Mao Zedong”. Mandarin speakers in Rednote are very confused when westerners are asking them about the name being a reference lol

Strong contrast to certain shitty countries that tie more debt to education instead

It’s actually pretty good. The algorithm prefers new users while making it hard to be ridiculously popular.

Needs some translation features though, and I imagine alot of English speakers aren’t gonna be used to China’s content moderation.

OPSEC-wise you should avoid most mainstream social media anyway unless you’re using Tor or a VPN, whether it’s Xitter, Insta, or Rednote

Well, keyword being “most”. There is indeed some pretty racist shit about India on Rednote.

I don’t think most Chinese people are racist crackers like you anyway

Shame it’s Duolingo though. HelloChinese and DuChinese are way better for actually learning the language.

“Stole” as if “intellectual property” has any right to exist in the first place. Pirate them all, any sane person should.
