American Tiktok users would rather use ACTUAL Chinese spyware app than Meta. XiaoHongShu (meaning “Little Red Book”) and ChatGPT (for translating the Mandarin only app) are currently #1 and #2 on the App store.

    Loops is great but it’s not a TikTok replacement for the average TikTok user. The average TikTok user likes TikTok’s algorithms

      That is a fair point, but I’ve seen @dansup@mastodon.social talking about what he plans to do about the algorithm to keep privacy-friendly. If I’m not wrong, I recall something along the lines of having the option to self-host your own algorithm recommendation.

          Yeah, that would be dope. An average user probably won’t use it, though. But having the option is great, and for user who don’t opt in for self-hosting probably an option to export their algorithm data would be cool, for things like changing instances.
