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.
Self-hosting your own recommendations would be amazing. I’m on the Testflight waitlist for Loops, hope I can get access soon.
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.
I would love to have the option to set the algorithm, like if I’m feeling sad use an algorithm that optimizes for happiness, if I’m feeling lazy use an algorithm that optimizes for inspiration, etc. This is the future I want
