Context behind this question:

So I watched some Chinese Youtubers recently (apparantly they crossed the firewall and there is a “trend” of this recently? not sure…) and watching some footage, which then triggered some old memories, again…

So when I was a kid in Guangzhou City, it was like 2008 and I had issues with home (fight with older brother) so I remember “running away” (not actually running away just impulse decision lol, I was 6 years old, what was I gonna do? no survival skills lmao) from home for a few hours… and I wandered like a very long distance away from home so when I came back several hours later, I noticed the police were only searching nearby my house, they might not have found me if I didn’t get scared and decide to come back myself.

So fast forward to now, with all these cameras everywhere…

Hypothetically, if I was a kid again and I did that same “running away” thing, how long would it take for the police to find me? Like one hour? 10 minutes?

Like I can imagine them just stopping me within 5 minutes and be like: (in Mandarin) “Hey kid where to do think you’re going? Stop being a disobedient child and go back home” 💀

Okay maybe this is a stupid question, lol (still kinda traumatized from that day, so this is sort of cartharisis for me)

Btw, story time:

I remember messing around with ciphers like a=z b=y etc… and I share this with another kid. We’d use rubber bands to slingshot folded up paper notes written in cipher to each other during class and in the afterschool program. Like I just get bored and wanna talk to someone, and we both spoke Mandarin so we sort of “connected” with each other quickly. We’d write “fuck you” using this cipher on the whiteboard and we’d laugh… cuz us kids being silly kids…

I accidentaly hit one of the afterschool program staff with those slingshotted “paper bullets”, he got mad at me and I got in trouble and I was forced to sit on the carpet while everyone just glanced at me like: “ooh this thoublemaker kid again”

I remember just crying lol

In-person verification with Guy Fawkes masks to preserve anonymity. Meet with a trusted mod/admin, show paper poster with handwritten username on it, mod reads and verify. You’re confirmed human.

I know a lemmy.world mod that claims to live in my city, we can verify each other.

/okay just kidding, I’m too depressed and lazy to do this weird meetup thing.

no offense, but I remember you as the user who digs through your instance’s server logs to find out who downvoted/reported you then post a @ tagging the user and demanding an explanation

Idk why, but hearing kids say things can hurt the most. There was a kid that said a racial slur to me (I was also a minor at the time, but I was older), and I momentarily felt like as if my soul left the country.

Since China has so much surveillance camera nowadays, does that mean child kidnapping cases are now non-existent? Like... they shoild be able to instantly locate anyone... right?

When classrooms go fully digital, kids can no longer discreetly talk to each other during class by passing notes.
