Welp, "copy from China" has begun, shadowbanning out link to competitor sites has been standard tactics in China SNS circle(QQ/WeChat/Weibo/Xiaohongshu/Tiktok).<p>I think it's due for U.S. tech company to learn a thing or two from the dark pattern in China.
I saw the announcement yesterday for 'Substack Notes', which is clearly inspired by Twitter, and thought to myself that these companies are going to clash sometime in the future. Pretty outrageous reaction, lol.
because substack is bringing out "Notes" – something that serves the same purpose as Twitter.<p>PS: @Dang, this post should be much higher on the front page.
