Somebody gave Mastodon's official iOS app a 1-star review on the App Store because "there are too many Taiwan independence" [sic, translation]. That's a first! Also, Taiwan is a country.

@Gargron there are too many countries, 1 star

@Gargron I am writing a 5 stars review to compensate. The app is awesome!

@Gargron Yeah, I hate my Firefox browser, there';s too much bad news on it all the time! 😁

@Gargron I live happily in Taiwan for over 13 years, This review just shows what a great platform Mastodon is

@Gargron official app is pretty. Weird login issues over Tor though.

@Gargron I am giving Signal a 1-star-review. My boss fired me via Signal /s

@Gargron I came from China (also agreeing Taiwan is a country) and got used to and tired of such so called Chinese patriots (we call them pinky) spamming every service with such negative review bomb. On the flip side it's also an indication that Mastodon's growing popularity that those who grew under such severe censorship also learn about have access to at least some Mastodon instance though.

@Gargron The app we developed for my union has a 1 star review from someone complaining their unions app sucks. (different union, different app).

@Gargron Sooner or later any domain that contains "mastodon" or looks masto-ish will be blocked by china. Theoretically, a decentralized network cannot be blocked, but realistically, there are only limited number of servers running. As for now, mastodon.social and several major chinese-speaking servers are already blocked. Any publicity of fediverse in china, positive or not, will only make the complete block happen sooner.

@Gargron It is indeed a country! BTW, Republic of China(now Taiwan) is the only legitimate China.

@Gargron I support you. Of course Taiwan is a country.I’m so proud of them, also envy them.

我真开心 因为我操了习近平全家

@Gargron I'm Chinese. And I think you're right. CCP is acting like a violent ex-husband who claims Taiwan is still his wife and he's gonna kill her if she dates anyone.

@Gargron What about Fujian Province of ROC think? They think people ignore them and never respect them. There is never a country called Taiwan, just ROC controls the Taiwan Province.

@Gargron Imma not only support Taiwan independence but also pray for Xi Jinping’s immediate death here. Thank you for this platform.

@Gargron I'd say, they're jello. That's how they roll. Thank You!

二次元含量暴增⬆️

@Gargron I'm Chinese.I agree.Of course Taiwan is a country. :nobeko_wink:

康祈祖

@Gargron LMAO they are such insecure bitches just like their Winnie the Pooh emperor

Rita 祈翠

@Gargron There is nothing wrong. Taiwan is a country. No one wants to be in a country ruled by CCP without democracy.

gargronissosensitive

@Gargron Seems somebody is getting angry for a 1-star voted to his company's app :blobcatgiggle: .
What you are doing has no difference from those shitposters on twitter. Almost all countries on this planet agree that there is only one China :blobcatgiggle: , including the one you live in.
Focus on releasing less bugs in your next release and try to make Mastodon a place free from shits ok?

Jolly Good Fellow

@Gargron
That's weird, in that, one cannot even understand what they mean.
Is there a way to reply to that and inquire further?

@Gargron can you not dispute that rating and have their comment and rating removed as it doesn’t not relate in anyway to the app?

These things are terrible as they lower the overall rating of an app for no good reason.

Hopefully you can fix this.

@Gargron SMH. I have so many questions frankly e.g. did they join Mastodon Taiwan server?

earendel

@Gargron Taiwan is and should always be an independent country. Shame on all of my compatriots from PRC who buy into the official propaganda and support PRC's chauvinistic ideology of "one-china". Wish Xi Jinping die immediately and miserably.

@Gargron LOL? xD It's like "reviewing" the Netherlands negatively, cause, "they are too many gays there" xD LOOOOOOOL xD

BTW, do you review countries? 🤔 Can I give Poland 1-star? 🤔

.橋.洋.

@Gargron AGREE. Taiwan is a sovereign and independent country, no doubt~!

katimo

@Gargron That’s a real
Chinese stance. The answer is to
connect with all the exiled Falun Dafa in America and get really meaningful 4 star reviews.

阿飞

@Gargron Of course Taiwan is a country.And please note China is part of Taiwan ! :bloblewd:
