The hype about rednote replacing TikTok is redundant, I don’t think Americans like adjusting they censorship to a foreign country that wants to attract Americans, and currently rednote is highly restrictive on American content but allow Chinese nationals to post those same clips from the American content sites, and also it’s owned 100% by the Chinese government.
There will be a new wave of people joining Rednote. TikTok only lasts 75 days to be used in America.
As long as I'm not having targeted ads shoved at me and my favorite leftist content producers aren't shadowbanned, I'm way happier on rednote. I've had zero impulse to reopen TikTok beyond the first time I tried it "after the ban lifted."
I guess at this point we just choose our favorite censored platforms and go from there.
Have you been on TikTok recently? The censorship on there is insane for US users. Come the new deadline, people will jump ship again. The only thing left to wonder is what company will attempt to fill the gap, if not Rednote.
Honestly, I would not use anything US-based. At this point, America is arguably worse than China. Objectively worse for people making less than 50k or so. So it seems one-sided on your behalf to imply that Rednote is restrictive and government-owned, while government and company have become intertwined in modern US context.
I was never on TikTok, but I have a RedNote.
It’s not “owned” by the Chinese gov, they just censor content. Coincidentally, it’s now just like TikTok in the US.
I think a lot of Americans are already on Red Note but I don’t expect majority of TT users to migrate. There’s a large population that sees China as bad and will never get past the login screen. I’m just glad to have found an alternative that I enjoy that has no ads.
no targeted ads
no pointless political debates
everybody there already understands dialectical materialism
the algorithm actually shows me what I want
it's like when I was a teen in the 90s and just using the internet to talk to other people about stuff we like

So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!
Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.
Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
