Just reports from longtime Redbook users saying the influx has increased scrutiny on them. No hard data as of yet since that's kind of impossible to get.
Rednote is a Instagram like social media application. Tiktokers have been flocking to it in such numbers that it's topping multiple app stores. Typically it is used by Chinese diaspora and mainland Chinese people to communicate but Americans are joining the app to protest the banning of tiktok.
Its causing a few issues for the social ecology of the app and the Chinese state is censoring and fencing off some of the content there as a result.
Wasn't just the corpos it was a joint project between the corps and the government. And in rebellion people are giving a rival nation full access to everything. If China had an obligation competitor you would be smart betting that they would've seen millions of holes before dawn just form people trying to spit in the face if tbe US.
Its a sensible protest, wtf is China going to do with that data that the US government and attached corporations wouldn't do, right?
They have a legitimate point. It's not possible, or even feasible to run elections without a functional legal system, a census, and even laying the ground work of the government that is supposed to be there. Give them time before letting the doom settle in.
People keep acting like hosting this shit and developing it is free. Its not. Donate to your instance and the development of the back end and all the opensource software you use. Bluesky has 20 million people using it it's no surorise they are looking for a profit model that won't scare the base off. I would rather it be subs instead of endless ads and algorithm tweaks.
I expect subscriptions soon. I don't mind subscriptions as much as I mind advertisment honestly. Advertising is negative content for these types of services. It detracts and makes the service way less useful but subscriptions at least will fund upkeep at a greater efficiency of user per dollar than ads.
To lurkers, consider financially supporting the fediverse particukarly the homeservers you use if you aren't running your own.
I expected that and vastly prefer that over ads. I also support my home server in the fediverse, and I encourage people to provide monetary support to their homeservers and most used servers.
No it's just more complicated than just print more.
Effectively the monetary supply is limited by the productive capacity/economic output of the country. If the nation or system doesn't have enough output to cover new currency, it causes inflation as effectly 2 dollars are being used to represent the value of 1 dollar of work.
