MODERATORS
Douyin and TikTok share like 90% of their codebase.
So? We share 98.8% of our code (DNA) with chimpanzees and you don't see that there is a huge difference?
Conflating code with DNA is both absurd and insane. Most software does not have a common codebase. Most DNA does.
Ok I give up, have a nice day.
Anyone who's used both Douyin and TikTok would see that the most salient differences are that the content is not shared and some regulatory details like requiring a Chinese number to register for Douyin.
If you haven't, then you're clueless.
