  • TikTok is called there Douyin
  • WeChat
  • microblogging is mainly done on Sina Weibo
  • Baidu Baike (by Baidu search engine) is counterpart of Reddit?

  Not actually the region you asked about, but wykop.pl is actually larger in Poland, than Reddit.

    What a lovely site! NSFW/not safe for egalitarians

    Tell me that’s like the Truth Social of Poland and only reflective of the extreme right (preferably lie if it’s not)

  I don’t know what makes you think South Americans are not under US influence cause I can tell you things in Brazil look exactly the same: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter… well, Whatsapp is also absurdly popular around here but I don’t think it qualifies.

    Sure, that formulation was not very good. But you get the idea. There is not only the “western” social media world. But what does it look like? I have no clue about what people use in Africa for example.

    What’s app is also Facebook.

    So facebook, threads, What’sapp, Instagram are all FB owned lol. They need to be broken up for being that huge.

  Something like WhatsApp >> Youtube > Instagram > TikTok > Telegram > Facebook > Reddit > Twitter, with some variations and local additions from country to country.
