Assuming you’re going to replace it with anything, where are you going. I downloaded rednote which is kind of like Chinese instagram because it’s a perfect F-you to meta and everyone else to go straight back to Chinese tech. I’ve also heard the names Neptune, lemon8 and a few others thrown around. Where are you guys headed?
(However I believe we’re truly losing something important that won’t be replaced, TikTok was one of a kind in the fact that everyone was on it despite it not being American)
I hate this new Cold War bs. I’ll never download IG. Fuck Zuckerberg. I’m never using YouTube shorts. RedNote looks cool. I’ve always wanted to learn Mandarin anyways.
There’s been a large influx of American TikTok refugees to Rednote, myself included, and I’ve been able to tailor my fyp now with a broader audience pretty easily. A lot of the Chinese community has been very welcoming in the comments also.
XHS has much better quality Chinese propaganda phonk than TikTok
I think that’ll be it for me. I’ve had app fatigue for years now and I’m tired
I downloaded rednote and tried to upload a video today and couldn’t get it to work. The first couple of tries the video was choppy and out of sync with the sound and then I couldn’t pick a cover, etc. I’m hoping they are just being crushed by increased traffic because I’d really like a proper global platform
Edit: so I was able to post a video and it seems fine. I think the editor is buggy because the video was definitely fucked when I hit post, but it uploaded without the choppiness
