        Maybe they can finally improve the site instead of DMing me various Skyrim mods they want me to install to torment me.

    They should throttle traffic to it permanently and allow for a domestic alternative to appear.

      For that to really succeed I think you’d need the size and planning of China.

        Why? There’s no need for it to be international. Twitter for Venezuelans run by a Venezuelan company would be fine.

          A) because Venezuela didn’t start this before the Bad Apps got entrenched, and B) because Venezuela has about the same population as just Shanghai alone.

            I’m not following why either of these things prevent it. The entire point of throttling the service is so that it degrades it so much that people migrate to your alternative. This is precisely what Russia is doing to replace youtube with a domestically operated version. Yes Russia is much larger but this doesn’t change much, smaller country will have smaller running costs to run the service.

              The timing because all these blocks can be trivially VPN’d around by anyone who cares to, even China’s. But most Chinese people don’t bother because by the time the bad apps took over the world China already had its alternatives up and running. And the size because social media, especially the mega world eating social media like Twitter and the Facebook properties like Whatsapp, are all about the network effect. All the reasons nobody gives a shit about Bluesky or Mastodon would go tenfold, a hundredfold, as much for a Venezuela-only Twitter competitor.

    Is Weibo PRC-emblem only?

    It’d be dope if they end up making a Spanish language version with a userbase all over South/Central America and the Caribbean and billionaire-tears gets so mad he actually fights maduro-salute and Maduro kills him in the ring like he’s Ivan Drago

      You can browse Weibo from anywhere. I’m not certain about making accounts though, some of the Chinese sites I use require mainland China phone numbers, so I never even tried with Weibo.

      More countries in the global south should ban western social media since most of it is now just fascist state propaganda apparatuses anyway.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
