Other Chinese app?

How can people be so fucking stupid???

Oh my god, this made me laugh!

the majority of the content on the platform is photo slideshows coupled with text, which is why people often view it more as a competitor to Instagram than TikTok.

Which is super ironic given that instagram changed everything to push short video content and compete with tiktok

pettiness and revenge appear to be enough to motivate people to learn how to navigate Xiaohongshu, an app that is overwhelmingly used by Chinese-speaking people and was not designed with English-speaking users in mind. “I have no idea what I’m doing here. I can’t even read the rules,” one TikTok refugee who goes by “Elle belle” said in a post on the app.

Emphasis mine. The article does not say how many users ‘flee’ to this app, and it would be interested to know how many of them are some sort of influencers (or even bots) to create a hype. But I am sure there are many who flock to whatever new app they can get their hands on, no matter how toxic it may be.

Addition: Once Tiktok is sold to Elon Musk, the ‘problem’ may be solved anyway, right?

“I would rather stare at a language I can’t understand than to ever use a social media [platform] that Mark Zuckerberg owns,” said one user in a video posted to Xiaohongshu on Sunday.

then why tf did you use tiktok
