How about you make something smarter? You can you up, no can no BB

It's not about making something "smarter", whatever that means.

I'm talking about content here. Twitter turns easily every conversation into a toxic one, specially if politics are involved. And Tiktok is full of teenagers looking to do the next crazy thing to show every body how cool they are.

Or maybe I'm getting old...

The content on TikTok/Douyin is great! I can browse and laugh at those craps all day long.

Techwise it’s also brilliant. Deep learning filters and content curation, cool sht!

We probably laugh with different stuff...which is fine. But I can't laugh when content like "free Uyghurs" is banned/censored.

Me neither such content can’t be funny, but why should one keep thinking about it all the time when using the platform? Not everyone wants to be a freedom fighter

Make sure you get a warning tap from the CCP so you’re ready for it

What does "You can you up, no can no BB" mean? Is it a phrase from SV culture?

> Translated from Chinglish. aka If you can do it then you should go up and do it. It's used against people who criticize others' work, especially when the criticizer it not that much better. Often followed by "no can no BB", which means "if you can't do it then don't even criticize it".

For those still wondering, 'In Pekingese, "BB" apparently means "nag; complain"' according to:

Complain in a jibberish way

It's a popular viral phrase in China.

It's a fatalism, escapism and defeatism catch phrase in China, boils down to: if you can't single-handedly and immediately change the status quo or make it better, then you are not entitled to judge/criticize, shut up and eat the shit up.

I suggest an immediate ban.
