The image features a modern, minimalistic design with a white background. The text in the center reads:

"DATA IS THE NEW OIL SOIL, SO WHAT WILL YOU GROW?"

The word "OIL" is crossed out and replaced with "SOIL," emphasizing a shift in perspective. The word "GROW" is in large, bold letters.

Below, in smaller text, it says:
"We’re creating something special. Stay tuned."

The design includes geometric lines in pastel shades of orange, blue, and pink, connected by dark circular nodes, creating a structured yet dynamic layout.

Four months ago, some of the coolest minds on the Indian internet asked: If data is the new soil, what will you grow?

That’s how @vizchitra.bsky.social was born. Now, we’re ready to share it with the world.

What is it? Who are we? What are we creating?

Stay tuned to find out! 🌱

I want to stress again, that Americans hate and distrust Elon and Zuck SO MUCH that they've voluntarily given their data to China, and BEGUN LEARNING MANDARIN TO DO IT.

And they're having FUN.

Whew. It's going to be a wild ride.

And you're going to have a hard time manufacturing consent for aggressive action against China when 170 million American TikTok Refugees are mutuals with half of the RedNote netizens.

This is absoLUTELY going to have diplomatic ramifications.

I am watching 30 years of propaganda melt away at first contact with actual Chinese folks.

Every comment section on RedNote are the Chinese users welcoming the Americans, "I'm so glad you're here! We can be friends now! We are not enemy!"

Facebook Destroys Everything: Part 1 In Southeast Asia in the early 2010s, I watched as Mark Zuckerberg's creation began to destroy Myanmar. Here's why I'm never using Threads.

I wrote about why Mark Zuckerberg is spectacularly evil in a three-part series here - based in part on my experiences reporting in Myanmar in the early 2010s.
