We hate you

Yeah, anything but foss apparently.

Sorry for off topic.

Just like the "men would do anything but go to therapy" meme, Americans would rather install malware on their phones than get out to vote.

Honestly, The government isn't protecting our data anyways so it really doesn't matter. Amazon has had yet another massive breach but no worries the government is sitting idly by. Not a single action will be taken even though this happens all the time. No penalty means no reason to change.

A Dennis rage tantrum really sums up their user reaction perfectly.

I think a handful of influencers found it and just started promoting it. It's a bandwagon thing, I'm not expecting 95% of the TikTok base to be going to another Chinese app just to stick it to the man. They are going their because the people they follow are going there.

I'm not convinced people are actually moving to Red Note. I think this is another Threads situation.

My gf is Chinese and her feed is littered with Americans trying to look cool, and speaking zero Mandarin. The other one constantly occurring are Americans saying "so what Chinese are getting my data? You know what's called sharing? It's called Kindness❤️🙏" i almost spit my coffee, but I was in bed and I had dry mouth

It's so wierd to see those people to go out of their way, to another soulless corporation, for no benefit.

The government says it’s for our own good and we should trust them.

Except we don’t trust them and don’t care about our own good.

You can't stop teens, they determine what is cool and will try everything to be cool. Ask the Soviet Union how trying to keep teens from buying Levi's Jeans worked out for them.

They really have cut off their nose to spite their face imo. Only way this makes sense to me is that the users want a noble justification for their ignoble habit.

“The data would’ve ended up in China anyway since American apps would’ve sold it.” -Rationalizations of a feed addict fiending

This rivalry with China is so dumb.

I'm too old to be up to date with American internet culture. What app are the cool kids using now?

The question might as well be "Why did you vote republican?" and nothing else would change. Not even the people responding.

I don't trust China at all, ban all their social media app in the same way they ban ours. I would like the US to be more like the EU in terms of privacy, but China not only doesn't care, they actively try to use that data to screw over people.

Would Rednote or whatever it's called also be covered by the same ban?
