Lol this generation is cooked

TikTok users are currently protesting the ban by moving to Rednote (Chinese version of Instagram). It’s currently the #1 most downloaded social media app in the US 😂

Talk about unintended policy consequences…

cyberpunkdelphi.bsky.social•50 days ago

What's also funny is the app is banning their accounts as fast as they are making them.

😆😆😆😆😆😆

blackazizanansi.bsky.social•50 days ago

Like...have people really not thought through joining a chinese state controlled app called red book....

zzzeek.zzzeek.org•50 days ago

it makes it more obvious what tiktok essentially is

alvarado.social•50 days ago

They have, and you're missing the joke.

blackazizanansi.bsky.social•50 days ago

What's the joke?

alvarado.social•50 days ago

It's the same as "oh no, I sure hope the K-Pop fans don't find out about your online form".

shanavwhite.bsky.social•50 days ago

They are trying to show Meta and the us government they would rather give their data to China than Zuck.

blackazizanansi.bsky.social•50 days ago

Yeah, I don't think willingly handing your personal data over a hostile state government with no data protection laws and zero qualms about using the data against the individuals if it would them and advantage is the own that they think it is.

alvarado.social•50 days ago

Keep in mind, "data" = "shitposts and memes" in this context.

shanavwhite.bsky.social•50 days ago

That's how much people don't care. People are sick of the US government.

shanavwhite.bsky.social•50 days ago

They have not because they don't think.

3fecta.bsky.social•50 days ago

They have a really good vision for growth as a network though; a 5 year plan.

shuadc.bsky.social•50 days ago

Sounds like some sort of revolution in culture

dauntus.bsky.social•50 days ago

That question answers itself at "through." No, they haven't thought it through. I feel already pretty illiterate these days, but photo/video blog consumers seem like a particularly incoherent and shallow user base.

mwingalls.bsky.social•50 days ago

Cicadas come to mind…

pronounced-ing.bsky.social•50 days ago

And no just Red Book, LITTLE Red Book!

yuniqjewels.bsky.social•50 days ago

It was just 23 in the App Store 2-3 days ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I luv it

markggarcia.bsky.social•50 days ago

There is also the perception that the Government is just selling out to our local brand of oligarchs. So this is kind of an FU to them. What's unfortunate is that there is not a Bsky or mastodon version of all this.

blackazizanansi.bsky.social•50 days ago

There's pixelfed and loops.

See? I'm old. 😆 In that case, hopefully they move on, though I have no idea who owns those two. They best avoid reels though.

blackazizanansi.bsky.social•50 days ago

It's federated meaning each server is run on an individual level and a person could create and run their own server if they want.

markggarcia.bsky.social•50 days ago

Thanks for letting me know. Then why aren’t they going there, but to raise some sort of FU point?

blackazizanansi.bsky.social•50 days ago

Because it's just about oppositional defiance.

keyshawnhousey.bsky.social•50 days ago

I’ll admit it… I made an account 😅

blackazizanansi.bsky.social•50 days ago

Smdh!

keyshawnhousey.bsky.social•50 days ago

You know… it is what it is.

amicamea.bsky.social•50 days ago

Agreed lol. I’m enjoying the videos.

keyshawnhousey.bsky.social•50 days ago

I’m just waiting for the chefs to get on in there.

blackgirlinmaine.bsky.social•49 days ago

SMH, just suggested to my 19 year old that she skip doing this.

mrscrabapple.bsky.social•49 days ago

yes, my 17 yo and i had a talk.

blackazizanansi.bsky.social•49 days ago

I don't know why anyone would, willingly letting any state government, let alone China, have access to my personal identifiable information did lawls just isn't computing for me.
