BREAKING - Tiktok has now SHUT DOWN SERVICES in the United States, noting “A law banning Tiktok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate Tiktok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!”

Hello, RedNote.
Or Loops. You know, being open source, privacy respecting and all that.
Nah, just kidding. Who wants any of that when you have the little red book instead.
Edit: Turns out, the fine print of Loops is worth reading.
Or maybe people don’t want to join an app with no app (other than a TestFlight version, as far as I can see) and no user base? Maybe?
Mastodon use to be tiny at some point, but some people joined anyway.
Or just touch grass
It’s always a bit ironic when people post this on the internet.
It’s not wrong, per se, but much more specific instructions on how not to waste your life would be nice. There’s old people that have spent their whole life on the metaphorical grass and are still dumb as shit.
Why not both? The grass isn’t that wonderful everywhere.
Because brain rot is brain rot for a reason
It’s only brain rot if it’s all you do all day long. Everything in moderation. It’s also often times the only window into other cultures for people that don’t have the money to travel. I’d rather scroll through stuff that teaches me something, than I would the endless US oligarchy brain rot feeds.
So… Go outdoors, but bring your phone with you? Lie on the grass, while swiping short videos?
lol no. Go outdoors and put that shit on DND. Scroll later. Can’t stand when I see someone craned over a phone when they’re somewhere surrounded by nature.

Sometimes we just like a change of venue while we interact with friends who live inside the tiny screen.
Rights are soooo gen X.
I like Loops too! I’ve ditched everything except Loops and RedNote for social media.

I think it still needs some time to get ready.
At least until the app is available without side loading or testflight.
But I think it will be great
I downloaded that and it wanted my mobile number, so I uninstalled it.
People are weird.
I think it only uses it for initial verification. I already get a ton of spam on my number so it doesn’t really bother me. Highly recommend checking some of the content out though if you want an unfettered view into everyday life in China. It’s been a fun adventure.
