Sounds horrible. Also going to be interesting how it’s a “town square” linked to payments. Nice when someone gets kicked off the platform..,oh wait that won’t be possible because their life is the platform. Can’t see this ending well.<p>The two ideas are in direct conflict. I’d say WeChat works because it’s based in a communist dictatorship.

LINE is DM-first. I&#x27;m aware that WeChat hosts a lot of memes like the &quot;foreigners who won&#x27;t follow zero covid policies are trash&quot; one, so I know it must be public facing. Therefore WeChat probably would be a more apt comparison.
