Also, introduce them to the gup.pe concept where social groups can be formed on Mastodon:
What new Mastodonians need to understand is that they need to follow hashtags, not people. This should be the first welcoming sentence on any instance.
I wonder if they included Mastodon in their "competitor list".
From what I remember, the difference is quality control. Western companies are usually much more restrictive, accepting only every 10th or 100th item from the producer. The subpar items are then sold by the producer somewhere else such as Temu or AliExpress. I also know this to be true for microscopes. Motic produces in China for Zeiss, but Zeiss refuses most of their units due to QC issues, which are then sold by Motic under their own name for a fraction of the Zeiss price.
Aluminium recycling/melting however needs a lot of energy, which again is often generated from non-renewable sources. So even cans are bad for the environment.
Capitalism! in the modern area with a tad more complexity.
A Winnie Pooh reference maybe.
