So the solution to algorithm being dictated by billionaires or governments with little to no transparency is to move to another one?
Maybe its better to stay by the sidelines instead of constantly rushing to join the next new social media. Perhaps its better to view them more from a position of an observer than a participant when it comes to the meta, tiktok, twitter type social media run by big centralized money or governments backing them.
No, it’s not even like Tiktok at all. The vast majority of the content is in Mandarin and if you aren’t Chinese your not going to know the asinine culture rules and get banned for something you thought was silly, but they take very seriously.
RedNote is a good alternative.
Westerners would rather drown in capitalist propaganda than listen to anything a diabolical Chinese national might have to say.
Tankies would rather push a Chinese state controlled app over a Fediverse replacement ran by real people.
And you would rather push s usa state controlled app . You are not that different from tankis
The US does not control the Fediverse.
Promote Loops not state run garbage.
Excited for the next edition of liberal pogroms against people using the wrong kind of social media.
How’d that work out for your boy Biden, again?
Why do you want to promote state owned and not citizen owned social media?
Do you need a big strong government to come tell you what you’re allowed to think?
You seem confused

is rednote an actual alternative for non-chinese?
No, it’s not even like Tiktok at all. The vast majority of the content is in Mandarin and if you aren’t Chinese your not going to know the asinine culture rules and get banned for something you thought was silly, but they take very seriously.
I haven’t been banned yet, but then again I save all my shitposts for the fediverse and stick to book reviews on RedNote.
or for Chinese that don’t want to be censored?
Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I’m sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.
What’s the fediverse alternative?
Loops?
Great, another app that nobody will use. Sadly users prefer convenience and popularity over things like decentralization or software freedom.
@youare_acooldude @Mrkawfee Loops
Ahh, thanks!
