Soon TikTok refugees will need to find a new home, cruelly cast out into the vast, unfeeling wilderness of the world wide web, armed with nothing but their ring lights to fend off the long algorithmic winter night. Many have already sought refuge on the Chinese platform RedNote, a haven where their creative spirits can roam free, unshackled by the tyranny and oppression of government censorship. I truly can’t imagine a more fitting sanctuary for these freedom-seekers to express themselves fully.
I hold out hope that someday RedNote will grow long enough to be hailed as the Little Red Book, a sacred text for the digitally displaced. A place where one hundred million hungry minds can be fed from the teat of what is currently trending, whether it’s sped-up remixes of sad pop songs or groundbreaking innovations in lip-sync choreography.
These digital martyrs are not just migrating; they are blazing a trail for truth and freedom of expression. Like the pioneers who once ventured westward in search of opportunity, these brave souls will go down in history along with the likes of Lewis and Clark. But instead of navigating rivers and mountains, they traverse hashtags and fleeting trends, their Little Red Book acting as a Sacajawea for the soul, guiding them toward the promised land of viral fame.
It’s literally genocide.
