Especially the elderly in my experience. The generation that used to tell us not to believe everything we see on the internet is now glued to Facebook.

Addiction is a lot easier when you make the surroundings more hellish and thus the substance more palatable

My parents use Wechat 💀

Something something America bad, NATO imperialism, etc.

all while living in the country that Wechat told you was bad. 🤔

X country is bad, but a subset of that country I happened to live in is an exception? 🤔???

Like that some crazy double think right there

Dear Faust. I'm not sure what worse.

Well, at least on facebook, you can have various ideologies (at least until Suckerberg decide to ban you). On Wechat, it's only whatever the govermment allows.

I don't use any of those, but if you are not in China and will never visit it, then Wechat maybe fine for you. Build your own threat model.

Ew I don't use corporate platforms. The only one I've ever used is Reddit, now with Lemmy, Reddit can fuck off
