I’m perplexed that the TikTok creators are choosing to switch to Chinese owned Rednote rather than an American owned platform. Isn’t it likely they’ll soon have to switch again? What’s the rationale behind it?
probably a campaign by the Chinese government to show the US govt there’s nothing they can do. TikTok is a social engineering tool for the Chinese government.
So you think there’s a chance that the surge in Rednote downloads aren’t from US creators just Chinese bots or something?
yeah. My uninformed opinion. The bots are causing a stir which will cause dumb Americans to move to that app vs a US one.
i stopped using zucchini app for more than a decade now. tt is fun to kill time, haven’t tried others but will switch to other non us apps.
“I wouldn’t want the FBI or the U.S. government monitoring every keystroke or seeing every password, nor would we want the Chinese Communist Party,” Waltz told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “But we also want an app that 170 million Americans clearly really enjoy and that we were able to get our message out during the Trump campaign in a very powerful way.” Trump managed to swing young men to him, taking them away from progressive ideas with it and he will keep it under his control. Chinese TicTok is specifically monitors to prevent it becoming a waster of youth. Maybe Rednote will be better for them in one way but of course it can also be bad.
