I think we agree on that. my point is, we don't need to use neither usa tech or chinese tech for our social media platforms. we shouldn't celebrate china being there "to save us".
also, I think china could still hurt us, on the short term, by manipulating elections and other things through manipulating public opinion and the values people hold. they have both the data and the channels to execute it.
You are right, we don't need either but you are already preaching to the choir as you are here in the fediverse.
looking at the parent comments, or the other reply I got, I don't think everyone agrees
if you're still scared of china at this point the propaganda has unfortunately broken through and taken root in your brain stem, i'm sorry, there's very little any of us can do to help you
