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."

What should we expect from people who voted in a rich, old, white guy as their savior.

Americans are populist trend followers, get what they deserve. Even China banned TikTok ๐Ÿ˜‚

Even China banned TikTok

Not quite, TT is available in China, BUT the CCP mandates they use a special algorithm for the Chinese audience that promotes positivity, education and other quality content rather than just whatever is popular

" . . . giving Rednote access to their data as a show of protest . . ."

That's a special kind of stupid.

You can't put videos on pixelfed, right? That unfortunately means it's not a competitive platform. Video is what people seem to want.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You can. Your instance just needs to up the max size or turn it on.

Example from someone who only has one video as the sample content. https://pixelfed.social/p/Sarahschannel/785335877987047968

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

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

The tiktok ban was never about China. It was about killing off a dissent medium.
