The fuss is a bunch of Tiktokers that’s it. I get it, American companies do the same, but what do they think they’ll accomplish by going to another Chinese company instead of YouTube or some shit.
Granted besides Reddit and Snap I don’t have any social media, I’d like to cut Reddit out as-well one day

As someone who’s gone from TikTok to RedNote, it’s an act of protest. The government says we can’t have TT because China /might/ be getting some of our data? Fine then, let’s go to an app where China is definitely getting our data. And give them the fancy add tracking so they get even more data than most apps. Honestly, it’s not like there’s a lot of useful data on the phone of a disabled millennial who likes crafting a little bit too much.
I will say, after a couple days experience on Red Note, I really like it. The community is welcoming, great algorithm. It’s like a combination of TikTok and instagram, with a little Pinterest thrown in. I’m enjoying the cultural exchange
Edit: gotta love the open xenophobia fostered in this sub.

TikTok is the source of a lot of people’s livelihood in the US, and is a space where people are able to talk and receive news in real, quick time. The entire “National security” thing is a farce, that’s why we’re angry.
