  • i talk to chinese queers everyday via rednote and can attest that gay discrimination is definitely a thing in china; but it comes from its people and not the government.

    this is pink washing because it meant to make americans believe that the government is doing the discriminating and there’s no clearer sign of this than a source that has been caught red handed peddling propaganda in the past as well as selective talking point that focuses grindr when other grindr-like platforms are used in china, but completely ignored by this piece of propaganda.

    you would do well to develop some media literacy so that you won’t be brainwashed by future propaganda.






  • i felt relief when i dropped all social media and tv news; including facebook.

    then i’ve selectively adding in new platforms one-at-a-time ensuring that each one wasn’t controlled by the same forces that have gamified and/or manufactured narratives like facebook/reddit/bluesky/etc. does.

    lemmy, rednote, and tiktok are the only things to pass muster so far, but i suspect i’m going to have to drop tiktok eventually considering its new ownership.
