Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.
- American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.
- Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.
- The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.
Why no loops.video?
It’s really unfortunate timing that loops doesn’t have both an android and iPhone app already out on the app stores. I use the iPhone app thru the beta on test flight
I would like Loops to get an influx of users, but this would be too many in one go while loops is not in a sustainable position to support them. The unfortunate truth is that Loops can’t handle that level of usership yet
How do you actually sign up? I tried and it said it will send me an email and that’s it.
It might take a little while for the email to show up. When I signed up, it was a couple of hours, but it was under a good bit of stress at the time.
Things are going smoothly this morning. Uploads are quick to process, and the timeline seems to be moving along with new content. So YMMV
Does it have android app?
Yes, there is an Android app, but it does need to be side loaded. There is an APK download once you get signed into the web interface.
Similarly, there is a TestFlight for the iOS app.
“Nobody I want to follow is using it.”
By and large, the average user is a content consumer, not a creator. The consumers want to go where the creators are, but the creators won’t go where there aren’t already consumers. This will always be the biggest problem for any Fediverse platform.
So is red note, who is on red note?!
The influencers went there first as protest because they’re a Chinese company
Kim Kardashian
Gross. I’m so disappointed in the general population
