If even .01% of the Americans joking about learning Chinese actually dip a toe into the language, culture, and (god forbid) history… mega self own from the us state

As the redditors pissed about this love to cite... It's the Streisand Effect.
Redditors are pissed about this? Oh god I need to see this, I need to taste their tears.
I finally started getting my verification codes. Like, hours later. It's an improvement.
Still haven't gotten any

Most Americans will just go to instagram/facebook/twitter unfortunately
The great Satan won this round I’m afraid. Still though, I’m really curious to see some metrics (if those are even available anywhere)
One very funny statistic for now
like another commentor said, any amount of americans being exposed to chinese culture is a positive.
Whole lotta folks are gonna find out they have more in common with the FOREIGN ADVERSARY™'s citizens than with their own government
Found something a bit weird, on profiles it looks like it shows users’ “IP Address”? But also that’s not long enough to be an IP address, and it’s not even made up of numbers? Can someone who knows Chinese clarify what this is?
All major social media platforms in China were ordered by law to reveal IP location (just the cities) of their users since April 2022 because a lot of anti-Russia comments were made by Taiwanese trolls when the war in Ukraine started.
Most Chinese people are Russia simps and the social media fights got really ugly flamed by trolls, so they decided to just reveal the IP location of the users instead.

that says "Beijing" so I'm assuming it's saying the IP is from beijing.
Oh i bet the chinese users are stoooookkkeeddd about a bunch of yanks polluting their space
just saw this comment
They don't care, and I'm have a feeling that the app will not put up with nonsense from foreigners. This is not a Meta subsidiary, don't forget.
As an example (as others have mentioned on here) that your country (or province, if inside the PRC) is shown on your profile cause of all the trolling from the Taiwanese.
If they need to ban Americans I'm sure they would, but why do that when you can just moderate them? At least give it a try...

I tried to make an account months ago to practice Chinese, but it didn't work because of the verification texts. Let me know if someone has strats to make it more likely to go thru.
I just tried every hour or so and eventually got one
One of the first things I was served upon opening the app was a Frieran meme. China really pointed at me and said "weeb".
It would be so fucking funny if this backfired so spectacularly that it resulted in the total collapse of the "China bad" narrative in the US.

Mark my words, if the Supreme Court finds out about this, they're overturning the Tiktok ban immediately.

Cool to see!
I downloaded the app but the UI is in Chinese
to change it to english to have to click the bottom left option on the home page, then click on the gear which takes you to settings, then the other gear, then the top option and then you can select english
Are there some stats on it?
