  • Personally I still don’t believe that a completely unknown app was suddenly getting new members in the means of some grassroots protest.
    Maybe it is more (or gotten) more known through TikTok and that’s why it was basically unknown for me.
    Still, I think this is artificially hyped as a reaction to a potential TikTok ban and not some organic growth - even taking into account people switching in protest

    I think, I’ve heard about this app like once in the last years. And, not wanting to sound self centered, but as a software dev and quite interested in anything internet, I find this development rather strange.

    Was “little red book” promoted on TikTok or how did so many people, who are usually just consumers of feeds, suddenly heard of that new app?
    Especially, when I have a really hard time to have them install a new app, like Signal, in other cases.

    Ok, this wasn’t really a good answer to your comment, sorry. You’re right, that the TikTok feed just builds individual bubbles, so right wingers will get more right wing info and the other way round.
    But the sudden switch to a practically unknown app just… seems fishy

    Well, I guess, then don’t have cats at home
    I’m pretty sure, that this single thing won’t save you

    And I’m not sure how often you drink it off the bathtub, but you do you…

    Edit: because I’m a bit slow today:
    How do you think cats clean themselves? Do you think they take a shower?
    As they’re licking themselves clean, you have absolutely no chance to not get contracted, because as soon as you pet them, you have it on your hands - disregard all the furniture they’re lying on
