Yup, looks like perma-lurk mode is in effect 🤷🏼

I figured something like this would happen eventually given how much US users content changed the digital landscape on RN. Kinda sucks, but I'm also happy to just lurk if they'll let me. The energy is just so much kinder on RN, and if this helps keep it that way, I'm fine with that.

Did you have a password set? I'm trying to figure out what's triggering it

All of this is making me really scared. I don't want to lose my account on Xiahongsho.

Yeah it's a shame. Luckily I was able to have a friend tell my Chinese friends why I just stopped messaging them suddenly.

Oh god I hope not im learning an obscure Chinese craft that xhs is the only place I can go to ask netizems for advice :(

This just happened to me a few days ago right after they sent me a cute little message about being on the app for a year. SMH. Anyway, the customer service bot keeps telling me I should be seeing an option to enter a different ID type that’s not a passport but it’s not on my menu. Might just go ahead and renew my passport just to use the app again. lol.

RN is under regulation by gov, they have to manage a large number of overseas users. Actually when I used twitter, I faced the same situation, account verification. And like other App, there also are some jerks who only want to make profit. But it is true that many Chinese people are not very good at English so some of them want to learn English through one-on-one talk. Whatever, believe Chinese netizens is willing to communicate with you. Food, culture, hobbies, you can share anything you like.

I have this issue too. It wont let me do anything without doing a face scan and its weird...I just wanted to chill and make new friends. I guess us Americans are not allowed to see anything outside this wasteland we live in

It is good to call out the stupidity of this while also acknowledging the good things of the platform.

Rednote has lots of problems, but it is overall a great app for those who it lets access it

I've had this problem for months. It sucks, I like the app and miss my friends

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.
