They're gonna be real disappointed with the version of "Tiktok" available in China

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 26 points 5 months ago (1 children)

TikTok isn't banned in canada, or the UK, or a number of other english speaking non-US countries

There are...other countries? WHAT!? 🫨

Why would they VPN to the version of the app that has less English speakers?

to learn? To experience something new? Monolingual life starts loosing it's charm.

I still fell like unless you want to learn Chinese specifically, the non Chinese version would explose you to more foreign languages. Guess its up to you, but I'd imagine they'd just VPN to the same verion they're using now.

well now i wanna just cus i'm getting pushback

you've fallen for my trap card; the allure of forbidden fruit!

I don't blame you, I play Genshin so Chinese tiktok would probably have some neat stuff

I've got Chinese GenZ TikTok pegged as 10x more entertaining than American Boomer Facebook.
