My thoughts about life and America/China after using this app

This app has opened me up to a new way of thinking. Honestly, I am humbled by how much I didn’t know about Chinese culture. I like to think of myself as a decently informed person with cultural competence, and I think I am more globally aware than most Americans (which doesn’t say much lol). I like to research countries, but I never really cared about China. I knew it had 1.4 billion people, but it didn’t register to me just how many people that was. That’s so many people who are living a life with completely different mindsets and values to the western world I was brought up in. I went in very guarded and suspicious of “Chinese propaganda,” expecting them to aggressively instill their way of life onto me, because if it was the other way around, that’s exactly what Americans would do. I also went in arrogant, thinking us Americans would show the Chinese people what it’s like to live in a “free society.” Instead, I encountered some of the most rational, intelligent discussions I’ve ever seen online. The Chinese language is so poetic and intricate, at least that’s my impression from reading English translations. I was met with so much warmth, rationality, and calmness. I broke down in tears. I have never felt so safe in an Internet space before. Their musings about harmony and connection touched my heart as someone who lives in a nation of distrust and division. And I know it doesn’t show the whole China. There are probably bad parts I’m not seeing. I think there are things they could learn from us as well. I think a good nation needs to have a balance of individualistic and collectivistic qualities. Coming from the U.S., seeing a nation that is so united is beautiful.

Before you Ask, No it's not Chinese Propaganda

Disclaimer: I'm a Chinese, living in the US. I've lived in both countries for more than 15 years each. Rednote/xiaohongshu (xhs)/小红书 is an app that came out in 2013. It's built by a Chinese company, for the Chinese both in mainland China and oversea Chinese. The app used to be in Chinese only, and it didn't support English localization until recently. A very common question I see on reddit or tiktok is whether all these Chinese posts from xhs are propaganda or not. The short answer is no. However, the long answer is more nuanced. Let's break it down. 1. The platform initially was built for oversea Chinese for shopping. That's it, its initial focus was not to be a huge social network platform. However, almost all apps in China wants to be a social platform for some reason. So xhs also has these features. So from the beginning, the app is not built to spread communist propaganda. 2. About 80% of the users are female (I forget where I get this data from, so I could be wrong). Lots of them are living average lives. I've been a user for 5-6 years, and I've seen posts ranging from "how to deal with disagreements between wife and inlaws" to "how to study abroad" to "look at this new <insert a luxury brand> bag that I bought" to "the best/worst Chinese restaurant in Seattle/SF/LA". Of course, there are a bunch of brainrot contents as well, tho not as prevalent as other Chinese platforms. There are topics about anime, daily lives, college dorm drama, stupid people showing off, travel tips, travel vlogs, anything really. Depending on what you click on, you get served different contents. 3. Why do you only or mostly see positive things so far? It's the algorithm again. You don't know the language, so you probably don't know which posts are talking about bad things or the usual drama stuff. In my FYP, there are still many posts about users complaining about all aspects of their lives. The ML algorithm will group people by their characteristics. For example, you are joining from the US, and you clicked on some tiktok refugee posts, and the algorithm learns that. It will say that oh, you are probably interested in the topics that other people from the US like/read/watch. 4. There is another side to the "only seeing positive things". Chinese people are trying to be friendly and welcoming. It's Chinese tradition to not show the ugly business to the guests. So, in a way, that creates a skewed perception for the guests (you). However, you need to remember, there are 1.4 billions people there. They are individuals with their individual experiences. The idea you get from the aggregate is probably somewhere slight above average. This is due to people with worst than average lives are less likely to post. However, I don't think that constitutes propaganda. From a statistical standpoint, this is just the sample population doesn't match the normal distribution of the whole Chinese population. 5. There are Chinese people who likes and hates China, just like any other country. However, I want to call out that because the US views China as its adversary, it puts a lot of effort in smearing China's image. This effort includes supporting the now outlawed religious group (Falun Gong) and its media outlet Epoch Times, NTD and a bunch of YouTubers. Specifically, I want to call out "China Insider" "China Observer" and "Serpentza". These channels spew out misinformation like none other. The things they talk about doesn't reflect my personal experience at all. All this is to say, you will see Chinese/others who will tell you this is all Chinese propaganda, and people who don't. Then how do you know who's right? I recommend traveling to China or talking to Chinese nationals around you to see what their perspectives are. 6. Last but not the least. The way the rednote gets popular is totally an unexpected event, both from the Chinese and American side. With the sudden influx of American users, I don't think anyone really had any idea how this was going to end. Since all the content on the platform are there for anyone to view, I don't think it's realistic to change what's being seen without its existing user base noticing. In conclusion, are the things you see on the platform real? Yes, most of them are real Chinese people posting real stuff, with some exceptions of ads and people heavily using filters (this is a huge thing on Chinese Internet, and we often jokes about that). Are the cars and sky scrapers real and the scenery and the grocery hauls and house tours real? Yes they are but remember, there are 1.4 billion Chinese. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Have a fun time asking them about social credit

DO NOT USE REDNOTE. YOUR POSTS WILL DISAPPEAR FOR NO REASON AGAIN AND AGAIN!!

I am honestly exhausted and frustrated with RedNote, and I want to document what has happened to me as a long-term creator on the platform. I am a writer/creator, and I have spent a significant amount of time building my account, writing original posts, interacting with readers, and building a community. My posts have accumulated hundreds or thousands of likes, and I have a substantial amount of writing and reader interaction on the account. Recently, RedNote restricted my account without giving me a clear explanation. I appealed, and my account was eventually restored. But after the restoration, something was seriously wrong: many of my previously published notes were no longer visible, and replies/comments I had made to other users also appeared to have disappeared. I contacted RedNote support. I was essentially told that if my notes were no longer visible, I should simply edit and repost them. So I did. And then the platform’s automated moderation system apparently reviewed many of those previously approved posts again. A number of posts that had already been published and visible for a long time were suddenly restricted or removed with generic explanations referring to laws, regulations, or community rules. I tried to tolerate that. But today I logged in again and discovered that the problem appears to have happened AGAIN. Most of my historical posts are now missing from my profile. Only a few posts remain visible. Many of the posts that disappeared are my original writing, including fiction-related posts that I had spent weeks or months creating. What makes this especially frustrating is that I am not talking about one individual moderation decision. I am talking about a repeated cycle: Account restriction → appeal → account restored → historical content disappears → support tells me to repost → reposted content gets re-reviewed → previously approved content gets restricted → later, even more historical content disappears. I have also tried contacting human customer support. The support queue can reportedly have more than 99 people ahead of me, meaning I can wait for an extremely long time before reaching an agent. But after waiting all that time, I have had an agent end the conversation after only a few minutes because I did not respond immediately. That is not a realistic customer-support expectation for someone who has already waited many hours to reach an agent. I am not asking a platform to allow illegal content. I understand that social-media platforms need moderation, and I understand that automated moderation systems can make mistakes. What I am asking for is basic transparency and accountability: • What specific posts were removed or restricted? • What specific rule did each post allegedly violate? • Why were previously approved posts suddenly treated differently? • Why did previously published historical content disappear after my account was restored? • Why were my replies/interactions affected? • Is this an automated moderation error, a visibility restriction, an account-level restriction, or something else? • How can creators obtain a meaningful human review? • Why is the customer-support process structured in a way where users can wait many hours and then lose the support session after a few minutes? For creators, an account is not simply an app login. Years of writing, reader interactions, audience relationships, and creative work can be attached to that account. I am now documenting screenshots, dates, moderation notices, support conversations, and the visibility changes to my account because I do not want this to become an undocumented incident. I am also looking into consumer-protection and regulatory complaint channels in the United States, rather than relying exclusively on in-app customer service. If you are a creator in the US or another country and have experienced similar unexplained account restrictions, disappearing historical posts, disappearing comments/replies, or repeated automated moderation after an account restoration, I would genuinely like to hear about your experience. At this point, I am seriously reconsidering whether creators should continue investing substantial amounts of original work into a platform where they cannot reliably understand what will happen to their content or account. I am sharing this because I want transparency, not because I want anyone to harass individual employees. If RedNote wants to build a serious international platform, it needs a moderation and appeals system that international creators can actually understand and rely on.

Me dieron ban y ahora mi foto aparece cada que abro la app

Aunque formatee el teléfono seguira mostrando la foto?

Locked out of my user
