That's odd. I've had the app for like 3 months.
It's as a reaction to the news about TikTok possibly being sold and people jumping to "Red Book", the other Chinese platform. Maybe some people will read the TechCrunch article and consider Pixelfed.
I'm still trying to figure out why anybody uses ANY software of Chinese origin.
But all it needs to be is "fun" I guess. People literally don't think past that. Then they all do the surprised Pikachu face when something bad happens.
I've always hated TikTok, and avoided it like the plague. I'm not convinced it's a whole psyop or anything, but my trust of it is basically negative.
As for government meddling, I'm not sure yet how I feel about it in this case.
I like pixel fed, but like all federated websites, it doesn't have a lot of content yet.

Just subbed. Maybe new pictures will pop up in my feed.
