this is 100% happening to other US users. but i've been using xhs since december and this never happened until now. i don't live in china nor taiwan and cannot afford a passport or proper ID. i tried to go to the help center and ask for assistence. What else can I even do at this point??!
many people are facing the same issue. i don’t think you can do a lot about it, you can still use red note but you can’t comment and post stuff.
I have this problem too. I was communicating with one Chinese person. But neither of us could access each other’s social media except for the rednote . I didn't even post a single comment nor we did discuss any controversial topics about China or smth like this.
Many Chinese users have also encountered this problem. Most of the time, they contact customer support and say they want to file a complaint against the platform for covertly collecting personal information. If you’re firm and say you’ll take it up with the authorities, the platform usually unblocks you.
You need to go to the “Help” section and find the “Customer Support” option, and insist on getting a real person to reply. I haven’t used the English interface, so I’m not sure if these options are labeled exactly the same in English, but that’s the general idea.
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.
