A lot of American TikTok users are currently downloading "rednote" which actually for real is a Chinese company in expectation of the TikTok ban. Everything about this is so stupid.
Discussion
rednote is the defacto search engine of hundreds millions of users. what's wrong with that being a Chinese product except the centralized algo shit like everyone else
I'm not trying to offend rednote or their users.
I'm saying by banning TikTok the government achieved the opposite of what they said they want to do, leading people to an actual full fledged Chinese platform.
Also I feel like Nostr should be the place for people to go instead of another centralized platform, but I'm a little biased here.
yeah man understandable to be biased. let's look at what nostr can learn from this-
devs in those Chinese companies are working 9-9-6 (9am 9pm 6days, I'm not kidding) to create algos that can attract users to stay even from a country (US) that has anti-China as a common ground. there must be some core excellence inside the product beyond the CCP propaganda or whatever you are biased with.
there are a lot of 9-9-6 hardworking nostr devs who's empowering building better experience for freedom, many of them are actually learning from whatever is the good way to build a better product with less sensitivity to irrelevant factors. I really admire that.
This is nostr's shitcoin phase and I'm afraid we have to go through it.
How is this going to affect the dance routines, oh gawd :O
You have to dance on nostr now. Sorry. But someone has to do it.

Waiting for the next "pandemic" so I can be part of "the frontline".
You are not wrong there.
TikTok is more American than Facebook and Google.
1. TikTok has over 8,000 employees, most of whom work in their US headquarters
2. Most TikTok servers are located in California and some in NewYork
3. they keep claiming that the TikTok owner is Chinese when, in fact, he is Singaporean, and they are one of the only Asian countries that hat the Chinese and never let them invade them
Here is the little snippet of them trying to catch the CEO if tiktok out
here is the whole thing
