it's sarcasm.
you cannot say the great firewall is broken and at the same time say people who are joining Xiaohongshu must abide to their current state overseen moderation rules
no, the great firewall is still there and there are users moving but I highly doubt this is gonna change the hegemony of meta inside the US
What does the great firewall have to do with Meta hegemony in the US?
he is talking about the great firewall but the rules remain the same, nothing changed
he says people is leaving meta in anger, some are, I don't see a significant massive migration
honestly I think he is talking from his user experience and trying to extrapole it way beyond its real extent
> he is talking about the great firewall but the rules remain the same, nothing changed
You're misunderstanding the point of the great firewall, which is to create an isolation effect on the Chinese net. Obviously a bunch of American e-refugees foils that. This absolutely is a massive change to the status quo.
> he says people is leaving meta in anger, some are, I don't see a significant massive migration
He's saying zoomers are moving from TikTok to REDNote rather than Instagram/Facebook. Not that they're going from Instagram/Facebook to REDNote.
> honestly I think he is talking from his user experience and trying to extrapole it way beyond its real extent
Speaking as a zoomer, no he's right. I can think of maybe 2 friends who haven't gotten on REDNote in the last couple of days. The numbers[1] don't lie. Whether or not this sticks? Remains to be seen. But it's inarguable that it's happening.
