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

      People are making account but they are just reposting content to rebuild a following and thats always just annoying, definitely wont have the same algorithim, but tiktoks was pretty much just favoring ppl who already were past a couple thousand followers

      I downloaded it just cuz everyone was talking about it. I didn’t even tik a single tok before. Every other post(?) (tiktok?) is either teaching Americans Mandarin or demanding yanks pay the cat tax. I wanna pay but the quality of pictures on that platform makes my cat pix feel pedestrian

        Not the guy you replied to, but there were a lot of new threads users when it kicked off. Most of them might have been curious, but in terms of active discussion is was not reflective of the number of claimed “active users”, and many seem to have abandoned it, even if their account is still technically there.

          well in this case tiktokers don’t have a choice as the app will cease to function, unlike X where they still can use the platform and many of these users are too scared to lose their followers and start over.
