The platform uses Chinese government-style censorship/moderation while doing everything possible to prevent users from migrating out of the app for any products or additional information.

So what is the next app people are moving to? I would like to be ahead of the curve for once.

Is anyone else playing with AI image generation? I asked an AI image generator to interpret a scene from Loma-A MacIver Kids Adventure. It got pretty close. Allen in his is a really good interpretation. The alien on the other hand is not so great.
Love to see what others picture the characters looking like in this great young adult book.
