I don’t know what makes you think South Americans are not under US influence cause I can tell you things in Brazil look exactly the same: Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter… well, Whatsapp is also absurdly popular around here but I don’t think it qualifies.
Sure, that formulation was not very good. But you get the idea. There is not only the “western” social media world. But what does it look like? I have no clue about what people use in Africa for example.
Tell me that’s like the Truth Social of Poland and only reflective of the extreme right (preferably lie if it’s not)
ETA: this was the fourth hottest(?) post under “Excavation Hits” (Apple Safari translation). It’s not just them happening to share data… one top comment is the N word spelled using the phonetic alphabet, come on.
Something like WhatsApp >> Youtube > Instagram > TikTok > Telegram > Facebook > Reddit > Twitter, with some variations and local additions from country to country.

I would have loved to see the parts that are not under the US-American influence. What are Asian, African or South Americans using?
For China:
Thanks for the information!

What’s app is also Facebook.
So facebook, threads, What’sapp, Instagram are all FB owned lol. They need to be broken up for being that huge.
Not actually the region you asked about, but wykop.pl is actually larger in Poland, than Reddit.
What a lovely site! NSFW/not safe for egalitarians
