Text for readability:

So far, Americans using RedNote have said they don't care if China has access to their data. Viral videos on TikTok in recent days have shown Americans jokingly saying they will miss their personal "Chinese spy," while others say they are purposefully giving RedNote access to their data in a show of protest against the wishes of the U.S. government.

"This also highlights the fact that people are thirsty for platforms that aren't controlled by the same few oligarchs," Quintin said. "People will happily jump to another platform even if it presents new, unknown risks."

You can't put videos on pixelfed, right? That unfortunately means it's not a competitive platform. Video is what people seem to want.

[-] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

You can. Your instance just needs to up the max size or turn it on.

Example from someone who only has one video as the sample content. https://pixelfed.social/p/Sarahschannel/785335877987047968

Where were people's protests & complaints when the US government were first proposing the ban?

I mean apples to oranges, this isn't really anything like tiktok, we don't share shorts here we create and post on each other's posts

That's the fediverse in general on the bottom, not Lemmy.

Do I need to buy a billboard to advertise the concept of not being a complete dipshit

The fediverse as a whole has missed a huge opportunity here. I never see anyone talking about it as alternatives to twitter or tiktok, only bluesky and rednote. AFAIK we have no alternative to tik-tok that is viable right now, so I don't know why anyone thought we could manage that one.

The tiktok ban was never about China. It was about killing off a dissent medium.

Platforms that work and are easy to use*

Maybe y'all should stop screeching bootlicker schill Nazi with every moderate take and replace the mods with reasonable people trying to mod instead of censoring opposition vote points.

So so so many people talking about confusion and platform design and privacy. It's the users and moderation pushing regular people away.
