It's going to be so interesting seeing how all of this plays out. Will meta succeed in reclaiming their market share? Will a new app take the throne? Will congress just keep banning any app that is too popular and not under the american oligarchys control? Will trump somehow leverage this into him being the one to save tiktok? Will loops UI ever be good enough to compete? Only time will tell.
What a strange timeline we live in lol
Probably not, nobody trusts them especially not z and alpha
Maybe. Maybe it’s red book?
100% but they’re slow moving dinosaurs
Probably
Hope so
I agree with all your predictions to my questions lol.
Though i don't think rednote will actually take the place of tiktok, I think that's mostly a protest migration & something else will take the top spot -- if tiktok actually stays banned. I do think there's a chance trump will choose not to enforce the ban in a meaningful way because he knows it will rally quite a few young and nieve voters into his camp (plus he'd probably get a hefty payoff).
I think if they adopt automated translation to English and back to Chinese it has potential to take off
right! like i know the stakes are high but this new development has gotten me very invested from an almost entertaiment perspective. there’s huge potential here for change and i have no clue if it’s gonna be positive or negative.
I felt similar about Musk buying Twitter. I created an account for the first time after never wanting to use the app before, just so I could watch shit go down. I got banned for dunking on transphobes after a few months 🤣
that’s so dope XD if finding actual community on RedNote doesn’t pan out i’ll probably just start posting anti-authoritarian till im banned :P
I was honestly surprised by the ban. Elong hadn't even been in charge long enough to account for the change entirely. I wasn't even being that hostile, just tearing into them like I do here when people spout bs. They just reported me because I made them look like fools.
Because politeness and upholding social norms is the number one thing for liberals. You can’t dunk on transphobes, that’s impolite and ban worthy to libs who care more about decorum than protecting the vulnerable.
Same! I think it is nice to have something developing that isn't as overwhelmingly frightening as lots of the things in the works right now. Like this is high stakes and says alot about corruption in America, but like at least it's not something that could potentially put me or my loved ones in harms way.
well put!
