    “Chinese app”? I’m sensing some defensiveness here.

    Using any for profit data harvesting app has great financial incentive to negatively impact anyone, evidence based government back-doors or not.

    I’m sure there’s some lovely Chinese-made fediverse wrappers or locally hosted communities with good moderation. Idk, I don’t speak Chinese.

      You’re sensing frustration at America’s consistent sinophobia.

      Using any for profit data harvesting app has great financial incentive to negatively impact anyone

      Pretty sure I said:

      Explain exactly how using a Chinese app will negatively impact the average American. Don’t use vague threats, use evidence based examples.

      So far I’ve responded to about 6 people and no one’s been able to articulate any sort of tangible negative impacts, just vague threats and handwringing.

        Dang, nobody spent 20 minutes of their life citing sources about a tangentially related topic you randomly sprung on them in a Lemmy comments section? Instead they had negative reactions? They must be sinophobic - stay strong brother your next comment will surely win the lurkers over ✊

          So why bother replying to my very specific question if you don’t have anything to contribute? Oh yeah, because your mum brought you up to think that your opinions are special and everyone should hear them. Way to go, champ.
