I actually got almost half of my colleagues to use Signal. Well maybe they probably still use another chat app even when talking to a fellow colleague who has Signal, but at least I got them to register an account.

I fail to see any reason for hating a chat app so passionately except possibly for privacy concerns, which is definitely not the case here.

Try https://github.com/osfans/trime. It has multiple input schemas (i.e. pinyin, zhuyin, cangjie, etc.) to choose from, and they are great for typing Chinese. Admittedly it only supports the C in CJK, but it is absolutely worth a try if you don’t need Japanese or Korean.

Try Thumb-Key. It’s a keyboard made by Lemmy’s main developer. It uses a rather exotic layout, but once you get used to it, it is so much better than qwerty.

says the hexbear while brigading

You are literally a Chinese propaganda swallower.

Hope that clears it up.

You are also begging to be banned. Your comment calling someone a “comprador” is to be removed too.

ok sure

Why does 50% of hexbears tell people they don’t like to go back to reddit? I am never going back.

now you’re trolling too

Just in case you didn’t know, your comment along with the other replies are a perfect example of brigading.

Yes, I listed Taiwan separately from China.

East Asian here. I think the term is fine.

Not saying that this is a bad thing, but it’s kind of amazing how opinions of the public can shift so drastically within a month: https://lemmy.ml/post/2080934. Last month another user posted in the very same !unixporn@lemmy.ml asking whether people consider the term “rice” racist. The majority opinion back then was “if you get offended over a term like this you should take a break from the Internet.”

400 comments total is rookie numbers. You should check out the news posts involving either Russia, China, or Taiwan. Or check out this post where the admins of lemm.ee asked for the users’ opinions of whether to defederate from hexbear.net. There are 1884 comments. (There was once more than 1900 comments, but I guess the mods removed some.)

Neither is your reply. When I saw your comment, it immediately occurred to me that you must be from hexbear.net. (My client hides the @instance.org part in usernames.) There was something inherently characteristic of hexbears in your comment. I clicked on your name to check, and voila - of course you were. Your comment is extremely condescending. This is how dreaded the userbase of hexbear.net is. I bet that at least 25 of your 30 upvotes are from other hexbears who upvotes anything from hexbears. I wonder why so many instances have decided to defederate from you.

100% agree! I always get so frustrated when there are no screenshots in the README.md or on the site.

yay unixporn is back

I feel like I’m seeing you everywhere

It’s often too expensive to support GDPR for Europeans and disable it for other people. Most services just support GDPR for everyone.
