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."
I mean apples to oranges, this isn't really anything like tiktok, we don't share shorts here we create and post on each other's posts
That's the fediverse in general on the bottom, not Lemmy.
can you browse loops from your lemmy account though? is it really federated if there's no cross-over? I don't get it
also ive been using this since reddit api died and apparently I still don't get it sooo good luck to any of the normies that we want to recruit lol
There’s no federation at all yet but they’re planning on adding it at some point. I’m not sure to what extent it will work with Lemmy though. They go into more detail on the FAQ page: https://loops.video/help-center/federation
And yeah federation is kind of a double edged sword, I like the benefits it brings but it can make signing up a bit confusing, I doubt that’s the main thing stopping people from joining though
