We'd be all ๐, except this isn't really funny. Yeah, there's a lot of censorship in China. #TikTok refugees who ended up on #RedNote are finding out first hand.

(3/3) As an addendum, Iโm almost certain that not one of my 1,519 Instagram feed posts would run afoul of ๅฐ็บขไนฆโs censorship. So Iโm living in an internationally acceptable public content bubble! Lots of other bubbles, as well! #entitled

(2/3) Iโve had some pleasant interactions and found many folks who love their DJI Osmo Pocket 3 as much as I love mine.
I am concerned that it will be overrun with American trolls soon. For now, my biggest frustration is that ๅฐ็บขไนฆ โ like TikTok โ does not enable me to use Swype on my iPad keyboards!

(1/3) Iโm really enjoying ๅฐ็บขไนฆ (Xiวohรณngshลซ). Iโm mainly lurking, though Iโve made a few posts. While Iโm well-aware that it shows a very small slice of the Chinese culture and people (wealthy and well-educated), โฆ

At first I was a bit offput by the change, then I realized that as 90+% of my posts โ and all of my reels, of course โ are vertical, my grid looks better now. I donโt think Iโve posted more than a couple square images since soon after the 4x5/5x4 options were offered.

Meta, Google stand to win ad share from TikTok ban
If the short-video app leaves the U.S. market, its dominant competitors will likely benefit most.

[2 of 2] Enjoy this hastily chosen review of the last three years Iโve been a member. If you havenโt been, you need to go soon. And you donโt have to wait for spring. The deciduous trees show their impressive structures best now! How fitting that the traditional 80th anniversary gift is oak!

[1 of 2] Earlier in the year, I said I would post at least 80 photos from #TylerArboretum to celebrate their 80th anniversary. With almost 1000 pics #shotoniPhone and well over 1000 from my Sony Alpha cameras, I had no shortage of choices.

Or perhaps the question is where will TikTokโs short-form video creators go? Back to Insta? IG makes it almost impossible to discover smaller accounts, so not likely. YouTube? Quite possible, though YT would have to add features for Shorts creators and viewers. A new platform?
