Some questions about rednote if anyone can help

I am new to the app, as many other Americans have left TikTok to go to rednote due to the ban. I have stayed on rednote and made new friends. We have been talking thru the messaging part of the app and it has been good, but recently I am shocked reading some messages.

  1. Everyone wants me to message them on we chat and not rednote. Is this sketchy? I truly don’t know, what do you think? One friend said the Chinese police came to their house and said we can’t talk because they have to keep the Chinese people safe, so I have to go to WeChat, would this really happen?

  2. If I want to block someone, will they be notified?

  3. If I want to clear a conversation with someone will they be notified?

(For context 2 and 3 is nothing personal, there are creepy people on any app where it’s not a good fit to talk. )

I would really appreciate some insight from anyone who knows, thank you in advance if you read this and can help me better understand!

Go to wechat to keep chinese people safe? Why? This is rediculous

Just be aware that there’s a lot of scammers, both in China and outside of China (using VPN). Even the Chinese netizens on XHS will warn you about it.

  1. fake, Chinese police have a lot of things to do every day, they don't care about this kind of thing. Getting you to WeChat is probably to facilitate scams. Don't trust people easily.  2&3, won't.

Context 1 seems a scam to me. Do not give away any personal information to anyone like that

Looks like a scammer, be careful with money transactions.

The sense of urgency because of police is suspicious and a common scam tactic. Also, they wouldn't tell you to move to another app if the police were involved. They would have cut contact with you.

Think about it. The risk of real-life consequence to continue talking to an internet stranger an ocean away is a weird risk to take. And if they're being monitored before, they would continue to be monitored.

Same thing happened to me. I just said no thanks, I will stay here on Red Note. They left me alone once I did that. Someone said that they want you to go onto apps that allow money transfers as red note does not and these folks are farming for that. It is that ‘I feel we have a connection’ scammy vibe that you can smell coming.

Making the Jump from TikTok to Rednote(Xiaohongshu)? Here’s What You Need to Know

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!

The ban isn't really about privacy concerns

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.

Y'all know why Trump suddenly became "pro-TikTok" right?

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.
