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."

Not everyone who is willing to use redbook is interested in the authoritarian gatekeeping done in the outrage farm known as lemmy.ml

You might be surprised to learn that there are plenty of leftists who aren't interested in marxist-lenninism at all

Sir we're all outrage farmers, it's why we (mostly) left Reddit.

Maybe y'all should stop screeching bootlicker schill Nazi with every moderate take and replace the mods with reasonable people trying to mod instead of censoring opposition vote points.

So so so many people talking about confusion and platform design and privacy. It's the users and moderation pushing regular people away.

Where were people's protests & complaints when the US government were first proposing the ban?

Platforms that work and are easy to use*

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

We are using it mainly as a massive middle finger to the US government

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

It is dogshit compared to tiktok in the only functionality that matters - algorithmic matching of content to user.

Yeah ok it can stream a video cool. That's not worth a can of beans in 2025 - can it give you content that you want to see when you want to see it?

The answer is a resounding no right now. Until it's consistently serving up top notch pairings of content to user interest it wont stand a chance in the mainstream.

I have a loops account but I have not been able to upload a video in over a month, it fails on every single attempt.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I found that any video I try to upload longer than about 17 seconds fails while anything shorter works.
