Folks knock on CCP's overzealous suppression of political news for political serenity, but it some virtues:
>Japanese users have compared this list to previous days where almost all trending topics were political in nature. The user who posted the list called the new trends “peaceful” and joked about how the curation team must have spend their time “sorting out topics like this every day”.
I've argued TikTok/Douyin's success is pushing peaceful content - stuff that survives the crucibles of PRC censorship - which unsurprisingly has mass appeal vs polarizing fringe shit fests. Obviously not all platforms should moderate like this, and hopefully not twitter, but it has it's "enjoyers".
