    The most important thing in Duolingo’s chart on social media is the fact that they didn’t show the unit. How much are these 216% in absolute numbers? (If there are 100 learners, you can easily increase that by 200%, but the total number remains still meaningless.)

    With better numbers, this article is useless, except maybe for Chinese propaganda.

    So tiktok is what Gen Z decides to actually put their collective bargaining power together to fight the government over? Not… Anything else of import?

    @schizoidman if the alternative to corporate owned social media is a platform of the CCP then we’re pretty much all fucked.
