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."

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

[–] huginn@feddit.it 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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.

Tldr take your stupid smelly nerd code and feed me cats and people getting jump scared.

TikTok's algorithm was terrible, you find good videos just as fast on loops.

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But what about Canadian spyware? 🤔

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.

You clearly haven't tried Instagram Reels then

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.

[–] Bo7a@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

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

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

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

Be careful what you wish for.

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's the fediverse in general on the bottom, not Lemmy.

[–] yokonzo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I mean still, Do you know of any well established fediverse based shorts sharing platforms out there? So far I think we only have reddit and twitter

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

[–] nthavoc 2 points 1 day ago

I don't even .... Just odd.

We live in a society…….

[–] naught101@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago

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