TikTok users have been deleting the app at a higher rate since the company announced that its U.S. operations would be housed in a new joint venture.

The short-form video platform’s daily average app uninstalls in the U.S. have increased nearly 150% over the past five days compared with the previous three months, market intelligence firm Sensor Tower told CNBC.

Oof, this still isn't up on F-Droid or either main app store. That's a shame, I thought this moment would be a great time for Loops to get some user base, but it seems like it's still not ready for wider adoption.

That said, it does look a lot better now than it did a few months ago when I last tried it. Here's hoping it picks up some momentum. I finally tried TikTok last year, and was really impressed by the breadth of videos and how quickly it was able to start showing me things I enjoyed. With the recent change in ownership, I don't know that I'll revisit it much if at all. Would take quite a lot to replicate even a little bit of the zeitgeist TikTok had going. But like with Lemmy and Mastodon/Bsky, I'm hoping I can do my little part by choosing where to put my attention. Just don't know that I'm going to find much there I care to see, for now.
