There’s lots. Hell there’s even a fediverse version: loops which has Android and iPhone app and ofc doesn’t have ads. Made by same guy who made pixelfed the Instagram alternative.
Fuck the mega corps and their privacy invading and political manipulation!
None of them have the algorithm that makes Tiktok’s “For You Page” so attractive to most people. By far the best personalization algorithm of any social media I used during the pandemic. I basically never had to search for content or creators, the algo served me up a platter of people to follow that seemed directly tailored to me. That’s why it’s so addictive.
And that’s probably why American social media giants are salivating at acquiring it. Reels/Twitter/YT Shorts algo doesn’t even come close tbh.
And yet, no non-Chinese alternative… Isn’t capitalism supposed to be good at filing voids left open? 🤔

No way TikTok will sell it WITH the algorithm. They can nerf it hard before that, and they will acquire a thing worse than YT Shorts.
You know what, my friends who are still on it say that their FYP has been getting worse over the past 6 months or so. I wonder if you’re right.
Yeah! We want American short form media from REAL American companies…like Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. Those guys are the good guys!
It’s never been about being the good guy. It’s about control.
