    Maybe they were only in it for the propaganda?

    I do love that some of the “refugees” (lol) are just moving to an even more Chinese app though. I don’t think it’s all that many but the propaganda pointing toward propaganda is hilarious.

      I think a lot more who move will find out that it’s not as simple as spending a few weeks on Duolinguo learning some very basic Chinese to successfully make their way around a Chinese language app with most users also posting in Chinese.

        Eh there’s a lot of English posts actually but half of rednote is posts about all the Americans flooding it rn so i dunno how normal that is. Probably not normal. Eh i learned how to say “hello” and “awesome”, that’s probably enough Mandarin

        It’s a big reason why I think they’re just falling for more propaganda and why I’m absolutely tickled.
