more adventures on rednote mostly because it’s entertaining how mad people get when i talk about it :3 /halfjoke

this was posted 12/31 btw so i don’t think “the mods haven’t gotten to it yet” is a real thing

#le is common in parallel to the anglosphere’s #wlw which i think is adorable

my number one qualm with little red book so far is there is no native translation like tiktok has. lots of google translate is necessary to get the social media to social :P

necessary disclaimer: fuck the CCP and all the real violence and repression they do. just want to give credit given where due, and so far here im just seeing a lot of assumptions with no evidence? so im gonna post what my experience is :) i welcome all to do the same

    Will meta succeed in reclaiming their market share?

    Probably not, nobody trusts them especially not z and alpha

    Will a new app take the throne?

    Maybe. Maybe it’s red book?

    Will congress just keep banning any app that is too popular and not under the american oligarchys control?

    100% but they’re slow moving dinosaurs

    Will trump somehow leverage this into him being the one to save tiktok?

    Probably

    Will loops UI ever be good enough to compete?

    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
