RedNote is really fun, haha
Also fuck me why do they know more about my country than I do???
This migration of American to RedNote just proves how god damn stupid the Average American really is.
God that’s a dream. I wish Trump would build a virtual wall to protect americans against foreigners opinions.
It would be so peaceful. Imagine a yankless internet. No more spam.
Basically a virtual Berlin wall around the whole of the US?
This is fucking stupid.
Our rulers are literally dictating who we can communicate with.
Which is why decentralised open source platforms are very important.
Worse part is that Chinese people overseas will no longer be able to connect with friends and family.
Wechat will always be allowed overseas and is the main method of communication, but the account creation process is of course a little more detailed than simply signing up with a phone number.
Well at least there’s a social media that still kicks out trolls
They recently added new translation features. I don’t think it’s going to happen.
“May” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that title.
So, I cannot inform the Chinese about Mao murdering over 70 million people who disagreed with him and his CCP thugs. What about the Tiananmen Square massacre?

I have multiple times and from both countries, PRC and ROC. I’ll side with the ROC to Free West Taiwan you brainwashed CCP loser. Do you have portrait of Mao hanging on your wall?
Try it and report back, that would actually answer the question.
People get apprehensive about that on some instances, but i totally agree with u. Alot of ccp defenders r like “BUBUT US GOVRMENT BAD TOO aarhrhh!!!” Like bro we get it its pretty much confirmed they were doing freay deaky shit with mk utlra and tons of other sus shit but that dont make ur ccp overlords “the good guys”
“don’t be racist!”
CCP apologists/propagandists
I mean they added a translate button in the last day or two, so I infer that at least the people running the site are OK with encouraging the sudden American popularity.
Obviously take this with a grain of salt but a spokesperson of China already said they approve of this cultural exchange.
Remember Rednote is approved by the CCP so there was already propaganda on the app and they are using this time to piss off Americans about some of our poor policy choices. Obviously there is not much negative stuff of China on the app.
Lmao “rumors swirl” means “we made it the fuck up.”
in this case reddittors made it up. so, yeah. very reliable
Ashley Belanger May Be Embezzling Money From Ars Technica
Just a few days after writing an article on Ars Technica about the possibility of foreign users on RedNote being walled off from Chinese users, rumors began swirling on Lemmy that she may soon decide to defraud her employer by transferring company money into her personal bank account.
😝
Most of my lab mates are Chinese and I joined WeChat because it was what they all used. Everything was fine except my account kept getting banned for no reason. I had assumed it might be because I accidentally turned on a VPN, but ultimately I concluded it was because they didn’t want the intermingling of Chinese and American accounts, which was literally the only reason I was there in the first place.
I been told Wechat requires phone number, do they not check VOIP numbers or did they just not block your number for creation? That’s super weird.
They have (or had) a system for reactivation that involved endorsement from another account. IIRC it was QR code based, so one of my friends would scan my reactivation QR code and a few verification texts later I’d have my account back. The last time I was banned, it was after I hearted one of my friend’s posts about his graduation.
I don’t even like TikTok but I’m so happy with how hard this whole thing is backfiring. Warms my heart
Tom cotton already made threats about banning rednote as well 😂
That’s fair. Our own platforms are flooded with government astroturfers. They wouldn’t want those leaking in.
Nobody should be surprised by this.
