The whole tiktak thing sounds so silly, especially when people who change platform (I haven't even heard of Lemon8, I thought everyone was fleeing to an even more Chinese controlled app!) call themselves 'digital refugees' because their freedom of speech has been taken. It's an app! It has ZERO to do with freedom of speech. Land and homes are burning and these people are whining. I get it, some are making a living out of tiktak, but they have done it once, they can do it again on another platform that's safer and more transparent. How is data protection not at the core of this discussion?

I hear you. Data protection is not at the core of the discussion because it's a "boring" topic very few people actually (care to) understand.
RedNote is also popping up as a secondary app - which is ironic seeing how it's another Chinese app.
