We're RIGHT HERE :( (lemmy.world)

Text for readability:

So far, Americans using RedNote have said they don't care if China has access to their data. Viral videos on TikTok in recent days have shown Americans jokingly saying they will miss their personal "Chinese spy," while others say they are purposefully giving RedNote access to their data in a show of protest against the wishes of the U.S. government.

"This also highlights the fact that people are thirsty for platforms that aren't controlled by the same few oligarchs," Quintin said. "People will happily jump to another platform even if it presents new, unknown risks."

I mean apples to oranges, this isn't really anything like tiktok, we don't share shorts here we create and post on each other's posts

I do find it kinda funny that that the US gov. Was using "CCP propaganda" as an excuse to ban a platform of expression, and now many of those users have begun using an app that actually has a history of defending the CCP

Lemmy doesn't have the censorship and speech-control from those platforms, but it pretty much distributes your data widely to anybody that asks for it.

very beta rn, but its no worse than TikTok functionally and doesn't have any Chinese spyware

How is Loops no worse than TikTok functionally? People love TikTok for its feed algorithm. Loops doesn't have that and it's barely functional at all at this point.

That's…honestly a fair point; a good chunk of why I never bothered with TikTok is it has some of the worst UX I've ever experienced in my life.

Yea, but it's very early. Backend seems pretty solid, but the client app...leaves a lot to be desired lol

Do I need to buy a billboard to advertise the concept of not being a complete dipshit
