TikTok refugees have already noted harsh restrictions on RedNote that have resulted in their content being removed or their accounts being suspended, including for mentioning LGBTQ+ identities or for women, wearing a slightly low-cut top.

    Anyone else feel like the RedNote content is probably all AI faked and very few Americans are actually using it?

      It’s bias but most of my coworkers who used TikTok have already switched over. We’ll see if it’s a trend or if they keep using it.

    Why is this the exact opposite of what I’ve been reading Lemmy users say about their experience? Especially the LGBTQ experience?

      I think they’re going to relax a lot of the rules just like TikTok did.

      It’s just happened so fast they couldn’t adjust in time.

      Give it a week or two and they’ll completely separate the US and Chinese userbases, with different standards for each.

        This app was never meant for the non-chinese audience. If they want to make a foreign alternative they’d have to segregate it like TikTok vs Douyin and ban the foreign version in the mainland. If that’s the case the nice cultrual exchange moments wouldn’t happen anymore.

          Yeah, that’s what I’m saying…

          They’re going to pick money over morals and split.

        IDK I read somewhere that some Chinese communications authority said that there was no plan to do that and they welcomed the interaction between people. To just be respectful and whatever.

        But then again this is the Internet and we all know the famous quote:

        “Don’t trust everything you read on the internet” -Abe Lincoln

          I mean, there’s gonna be a heavy algorithm…

          Even if not “intentional” it’s going to segregate by language used.

          They’re not going to turn down inheriting the US user base due to morals, they’ll take the money.
