Sorry I don’t really use it, what was it’s vision, and how did it stray?

Did higher karma increase the boots of your upvote on reddit?

What is the general outlook on others helping him build them out? I would hate to see tons of the energy dissipate because it was one guy trying his damnedest to out compete tech companies on two fronts.

Fair, I think hyperbolic headlines are just the reality of click-driven journalism :\

I feel like in it’s current form it’s more likely to lose lifetime fans than catch them. I would be genuinely surprised if nothing happened to make the experience on rednote worse, and from what I’ve heard it would be also a valid target of the existing law, so just as easy to shut down.

Also doesn’t loops currently just have a fire hose feed of all videos uploaded in chronological order? Seems like it’s lacking core features that would make it stick for folks.

My phone failed whenever I tried to buy something (just testing to see what it would do), and I haven’t seen anything that stood out as an obvious ad.

It seems entirely plausible to me that someone that uses tiktok a lot saw enough folks talking about it that they thought it would be an interesting story.

Further I feel like:

“I just wanted something that could replace TikTok, and also it was sort of an act of protest against our government,” the Texan said.

Xiaohongshu did not respond to Rest of World’s request for comment, including on the latest count of overseas users.

Although Xiaohongshu is widely used by overseas Chinese people, the platform has made limited efforts to attract a broader international user base. Even Xiaohongshu’s logo is designed with the Chinese characters of its name. It offers no in-app translation for user posts or comments, and only suggests Chinese-language keywords in its search bar.

But the sudden increase in American users likely poses new challenges for Xiaohongshu, as the platform tries to balance global business expansion with pressure to enforce China’s censorship laws.

are not really the sorts of claims that would exist in an astroturf campaign. I mean maaayybe they wanted it to appear more authentic, so they invited the writer to be more critical and portray the app in a revolutionary light that is pretty counter to it’s culture, but I think it’s far more likely to be genuine.

I think this is a very convenient position for the US. It fails to take into account the depth of connections between Israel and the US, and how much of the situation in Gaza can only happen because of the US.

Even if I grant that there is some genocide scaling factor because it’s done by a vassal state, I still would argue the devastation of Gaza is certainly more far extensive.

The US doesn’t have a direct part in Gaza

This argument is incredibly hallow to me.

Is your point here that China’s actions against Uyghurs is more recent and extensive than the US’s part in Gaza?

Is that needed? Doesn’t the ban just drop it from the app stores?

Not sure where I got it, but for android you have to install it from the apk. I can’t log in right now, so it might show up on the site when you sign up and get your invite.

I’ve liked helix a bit more. It takes less initial set up, and generally has the mentality of showing what you’re about to change before inputting a change command.

Wouldn’t be Juan Barani here?

I have to assume (or hope) this is one of those things that looks bad with such little information, but agreed that 230k for your number one gift guy sounds fucking wild.

Peertube, but it’s really not nearly the replacement lemmy or mastodon are.

Sony is, and they have money, so doesn’t really matter what you want sweetheart 😊

Don’t blame them. They are but a simple internet denizen born and raised in a world of walled gardens and proprietary protocols. The brilliance of the fediverse is blinding for they have never used their eyes.
