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.

People were sarcastically making the comment about sharing their data with the Chinese government. AFAIK there has been zero evidence that this had been happening in the first place.

It's definitely happening, but it's not why tiktok was banned. The government doesn't care who gets your data.

They want a platform that isn’t controlled by oligarchs yet they go to a platform that is controlled by the CCP, interesting

I used to think that the perceived complexity of the fediverse was creating a hurdle for more adoption.

Now all these fucking people are learning Chinese to better use RedNote.

Apparently convenience isn't actually a barrier? I'm baffled why so many people are flocking to anything other than the fediverse.

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