Didn't know where to share this.
I don't use tiktok. But every other young person I know does.
And now that it owned by a pro-trump company... It's about to get real difficult.

Hi, random human here. I can explain the hurdle.
Basically it comes down to this: I have no idea what rednote is. Never heard of it. I assume it's like how Lemmy is to Reddit. People know what Reddit is. Nobody knows what Lemmy is.
Now walk out of your house, and ask 100 people "What is tiktok?" And then ask those same people "What is rednote?"
Totally uneducated guess on my part, but I would say 100 out of 100 people know what tiktok is. I would also guess 5 out of 100 would know what rednote is.
That's the hurdle. Same reason Loops isn't being used either. People know what one thing is. They don't know what the other thing is. Regardless of if the features are better, people will always go where the other people are.
I just found out about Loops! What's a Rednote?
Case in point.
