Have heard of it during the Tiktok ban and most comments about it seem positive.

I generally try to avoid using apps that are non-FOSS or opensource, and tried to use the website. I think it’s my network provider, but I can’t really use the site as it only seems to be available once every 2-3 reloads(I also use a private dns as without that it take 4-5 reloads). I also think that app users can easily change the interface language, as I couldn’t find where the switch was on the website. Couldn’t create an account because of the same too.

Is there any foss client for it? If not, is the app decent on privacy n all? I generally avoid meta apps, except Whatsapp(which is the major messaging app in India).

Also, what was your experience there? Most comments about the interactions seem very positive. But I have that doubt whether I’m being biased my pov as a leftist.
So I thought I could ask here and see the general opinion.

Thanks in advance.

    It does seem to like to paste my clipboard which is not very cool, no idea what it’s doing with it.

    It’s actually very common in Chinese apps because before some logic was introduced into android it was the most performant way to transmit states and info between screens. It was common on US apps too, just not when it was obvious that the clipboard was being used. I’m not sure why it’s still around, probably just historical tech baggage, alipay, meituan, and WeChat do the same
