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.

Self-hosting your own recommendations would be amazing. I’m on the Testflight waitlist for Loops, hope I can get access soon.

Yeah, that would be dope. An average user probably won’t use it, though. But having the option is great, and for user who don’t opt in for self-hosting probably an option to export their algorithm data would be cool, for things like changing instances.

I would love to have the option to set the algorithm, like if I’m feeling sad use an algorithm that optimizes for happiness, if I’m feeling lazy use an algorithm that optimizes for inspiration, etc. This is the future I want
