Why thousands of young Chinese people use a pink dinosaur as their alias
Chinese social media users are adopting the online alias “momo” as a way to speak more freely, evade harassment, and protect their privacy.
Originally the default username for new accounts on Xiaohongshu, it was later popularized by online fans who wanted to safely gossip about celebrities without being harassed by competing fandoms.
