Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

  • American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
  • Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
  • The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

What does race have to do with anything?!

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world -1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Throwing in the race card is something that wumao are instructed to do regularly.

The fact that, like you pointed out, you hadn't said a single thing about race is a strong indicator that the person you're replying to is a paid troll.

Btw "wumao" is literally "five dimes", which refers to the "50 cent party" who are paid internet commentators with the goal to push CCP propaganda. The "50 cent" part refers to how much they get paid per comment.

Now I'm not saying this person definitely is a wumao, but my guess is that they are.
