Also no carb at the start.
It is in my asian blood.
They are very much designed to sowing Chinese discourse and push the capitalist hyper-consumption life style. In fact RedNote is famous for being toxic and anxiety-inducing among Chinese community, probably due to its root in product promotion:
Xiaohongshu was founded by Miranda Qu and Charlwin Mao in 2013 as an online tour guide for Chinese shoppers, providing a platform for users to review products and share their shopping experiences with the community.
They are also anti-competitive and consumer-hostile:
Xiaohongshu strictly prevents advertising and linking to external websites or apps. Actions such as sending WeChat contacts in posts or DMs or inquiring about prices of goods can lead to account suspension.
And most westerners don’t see this side of rednote, because rednote give western users special treatments, i.e. because of western privileges:
Following the growth in users from the United States, Xiaohongshu was said to be exploring adjusting its content review processes as American influencers began sharing posts.
On 14 January 2025, Xiaohongshu announced that it would direct users to more “positive” content in line with a November 2024 directive from the Cyberspace Administration of China.
Quotes are from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaohongshu and there are many Mandarin articles on the toxicity of rednote:
It is funny to see those so called “communist” rushing to defend the very embodiment of capitalistic hyper-consumption in China, and the only thing shielding them from such toxicity is their own privilege.
They should be.
But people can just be vocal on platforms that don’t seek to manipulate public opinions, like mastodon…
We will let them pay 25% tariff, so it is all good.
I think individual instance blocking is not as good as defederating.
However, even with my instance defederating ml, hexbear, and grad, I can still see ml lovers who moved to other instances, which is slightly disappointing.
Not the first on the app store, unfortunately…
I understand people arguing that a lot of advocacy work is on tiktok, hence it is important; but I really wish good people can advocate on good platforms, instead of monopolistic data-hungry tech oligarchs.
He probably knows more than me, but after a brief search Gail Slater worked for internet association, which is a lobbying group backed by all the big tech you can imagine; then worked for Trump for a bit; and finally ends up working for Fox and Ruku, two companies with no anti-trust (Fox-Disney merger, happened in Trump term) and dumping concerns ;^) .
See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Slater and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Association
Honestly, I didn’t know people working for Fox and Ruku always had the noble goal of breaking up the very companies that pay her bills. But I would love to be proven wrong.
I have also found no evidence that the several anti-trust law suit (visa, google, apple, etc.) started at Trump term. If so, the DOJ is really taking their sweet time, because all these suit has just started…
It is more of a instagram clone than tiktok clone IIRC.
Seasoning is a polymer, which is known for its strong resistance. It is unlikely to breakdown just with one dishwasher wash.
The seasoned surface is hydrophobic and highly attractive to oils and fats used for cooking (oleophilic).
The protective layer itself is not very susceptible to soaps, and many users do briefly use detergents and soaps.[28]
Unless you are dish washing it everyday and refuse to dry/reseason it, you will be fine.
However, cast iron is very prone to rust, and the protective layer may have pinholes, so soaking for long periods is contraindicated as the layer may start to flake off.
I think you can block instances now.
I like the idea of growing non-ml community, however, I wish larger instances do not block ML. Otherwise, they would just move to lemmy.ee or lemmy.one, just like how they moved from hexbear and grad to ml.
It is great tankies got their own place where they can be happy, but I really don’t want to interact with them. I am emotional about issues they engage in, and emotional me is usually not the nicest version of myself.
Social media is one of the few ways I can relax for couple hours per week outside of my job, and I really don’t want my social media experience to go full investigative journalism.
I don’t laubcher can customize task switcher, this should be an AOSP feature?
