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.

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

I don't want TikTokers on the Fediverse, thankyouverymuch.

[–] explodicle 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I do! Their opinions affect us; the fediverse reduces a social problem.

"I don't want AOLers on the web. The open internet should just be for us enlightened few"

JFC, * don't want you pricks on the fedi. Can't you go back to BBSes or something and wank each other there?

The TikTok algorithm shows you what you want to see. My TikTok algorithm was history, math, and language learning content.

" . . . giving Rednote access to their data as a show of protest . . ."

That's a special kind of stupid.

What should we expect from people who voted in a rich, old, white guy as their savior.

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

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

Be careful what you wish for.

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (7 children)

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

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.
