American Tiktok users would rather use ACTUAL Chinese spyware app than Meta. XiaoHongShu (meaning “Little Red Book”) and ChatGPT (for translating the Mandarin only app) are currently #1 and #2 on the App store.

Bro loops is right there
Bro, who downvoted you?? 😂
How dare you point out the obvious correct choice as an alternative.
What the fuck are people doing
Sticking their middle fingers to the government? I even saw a trend where people were talking about live streaming on red note and just walking through all the government buildings near them.
Sticking their middle finger to the government so they can keep using another government’s spyware?
Ok.
What does the Chinese government care what I say about the American government?
What can they do to me anyway?
Nothing says sticking it to the government like some treason, right guys? /s
The Chinese users are actually pretty welcoming and funny
They keep harassing US users for pictures of their cats.
Lol, I just got flamed in a Lemmy.ml community for condemning this shit
I mean it’s pretty funny, innit?
It’s a Chinese app what of it?
It would be funny if tiktok just put out a transfer request to everyone’s accounts and then make a new company called toktik and all content gets transferred with any account that opts in. Then the government has to go through the whole process to shut down toktik again.
I misread that as TikTok banning looming and spent far too much time wondering what looming is. Some sort of viral textile meme …
People should realize though that Red Note has actually been around since 2013 and is not a new app. WHat might be new is their owners may be more dedicated to replacing TIktok due to what been happening to TIktok in the u.s of late.
- Chinese = Bad
- Russian = Bad
- Iran = Bad
- USA = We are the only good guys.
USA = We are the only good guys.
Nobody but the gov itself and right-wing nutjobs is saying that.
It is in fact possible to criticize China, Russia, Iran AND the US at the same time
They are all complacent in crimes and human rights violations in one form or another
Yeah, but one of those governments can get you right now.
The other one has to cross international borders.
Honestly, using a foreign social media site is a hilarious move.
If I wanted to criticize the government, especially my own, I can see the reasoning behind using a foreign platform to do it on.
Domestic companies prefer foreign companies be banned. Competition is bad for business after all.
imagine my surprise at learning this comment came from lemmy.ml
Lol. Everyone is the bad guy. The ruling oligarchy of every nation is horrendous.
Tug o war works because the rope is strong enough to withstand the pull. In online political tug o war, you’re the rope. Most people would naturally dislike the folks trying to turn them into rope.
can i be the dog
Run for office and we’ll talk
you drive a hard bargain
