BREAKING - Tiktok has now SHUT DOWN SERVICES in the United States, noting “A law banning Tiktok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate Tiktok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”

Hello, RedNote.

Or Loops. You know, being open source, privacy respecting and all that.

Nah, just kidding. Who wants any of that when you have the little red book instead.

Edit: Turns out, the fine print of Loops is worth reading.

Or maybe people don’t want to join an app with no app (other than a TestFlight version, as far as I can see) and no user base? Maybe?

Mastodon use to be tiny at some point, but some people joined anyway.

Loops privacy policy is shit btw.

Better that than TT or RedNote though.

Why not both? The grass isn’t that wonderful everywhere.

It’s always a bit ironic when people post this on the internet.

It’s not wrong, per se, but much more specific instructions on how not to waste your life would be nice. There’s old people that have spent their whole life on the metaphorical grass and are still dumb as shit.

I like Loops too! I’ve ditched everything except Loops and RedNote for social media.

@TranquilTurbulence @orca
I think it still needs some time to get ready.

At least until the app is available without side loading or testflight.

But I think it will be great

I downloaded that and it wanted my mobile number, so I uninstalled it.

People are weird.

I think it only uses it for initial verification. I already get a ton of spam on my number so it doesn’t really bother me. Highly recommend checking some of the content out though if you want an unfettered view into everyday life in China. It’s been a fun adventure.
