Maybe someday

You're missing the important factor of the cultural zeitgeist

People who flocked to RedNote weren't just going there for an alternative to TikTok

They were specifically going there because the US government said "you can't go on the Chinese App!" so they said "Oh yeah? I'm gonna find an even MORE Chinese app to hang out at!"

Gotta second this. Especially if the growth is sudden. It's very difficult to integrate newer users into the existing culture.

There are merits to being a smaller community.

I was mistaken, it was not opensourced - there was a whitepaper on a recommendation system from tiktok's parent company bytedance, and everyone just assumed it was the tiktok recommendation algorithm when it was published.

[periodicallypedantic@lemmy.ca]

If I understand correctly, that only works with data publicly available (or at least available to 3rd party instances). But there are going to be metrics that fediverse platforms simply don't make public or even track.

for example: i dont imagine that peertube (or even loops) makes public who viewed which videos, when, for how long. and it'd be a huge privacy issue if they did. Even tracking things like who-liked-what are the kinds of things that a 3rd party probably shouldn't be able to just check.

without these kinds of insights, it'd be hard to make a good recommendation algorithm, because you can't really tell how an individual is interacting with content.

Whatever the reason, navigating that is still more complicated than navigating Lemmy or Mastodon

They still have to sell.

It's just colors, if colors evoke blind hatred in someone, I likely wouldn't want them around me anyways. It looks to me like an interlinked web of different nodes. Which seems to be a pretty accurate representation of the hosting and federations.

Hey thanks for the correction - my mistake!

[sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

You mean they signed up for an app that actually works and generates a feed for you vs one that doesn't do either of those things?

[icefoxx@lemm.ee]

Well, blind, stupid hatred from e.g. anti-woke, MAGA or the growing right-wingers all over the West. Just need to have as many colors as a rainbow and there is the connection to LGBTQA+ with said blind hatred.
Now of course you can say you don't want these people around you. But unfortunately there are more of them and they are taking over the leadership of the countries in the West.

I don't think there are any experiences on the fediverse right now that are comparable to TikTok. Loops is still beta, isn't it? If Reddit was banned and people clocked to some Chinese forum I could agree with this meme.

[jackbydev@programming.dev]

If someone is so fragile that the colors of a logo tangentially related to a service make them believe the service is woke, then I really don't care about getting them to adopt it. It's also something like a pentagram. I don't care if this scares evangelicals. Both of these are such insane stretches that it would be foolish to accommodate them.

[jackbydev@programming.dev]

I find this mentality disgusting. "Young people bad!"

[wabafee@lemmy.world]

Yep that's addiction it's hard to recover.

[jackbydev@programming.dev]

Just made an account on Xiaohongshu and saw literally no Chinese during the process other than the logo. The first Chinese I saw were the titles of videos.

[teknevra@lemmy.world]

I kind of like the algorithm idea that Neptune) a potential Tiktok replacement) plans on having.

TikTok - Make Your Day

(www.tiktok.com)

It plans on giving users different sliders, such as:

Following

Friends

Trending

Categories

etc.

[irelephant@lemm.ee]

I agree, but thats why they chose it.

[irelephant@lemm.ee]

Is the sky woke? There's a rainbow in it.

[icefoxx@lemm.ee]

I like rainbows. I don't know what all woke is because it feels like it's everything republicans/MAGA/right-wing/anti-democratic/etc. use to defame something and direct hate towards it anyway. But as I said, it's just a feeling... I don't know what it's really about.

[p4ulin_kbana@lemmy.eco.br]

Fediverse fanboys when they realise that their obscure and socially complex software isn't know by many people specially outside of the tech bubble, and that it's not the same experiences that they will get with their known platforms:
