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Account restriction → appeal → account restored → historical content disappears → support tells me to repost → reposted content gets re-reviewed → previously approved content gets restricted → later, even more historical content disappears.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.

I'm going to tell you what many of my friends on Rednote who are Chinese say, and they all complain that Rednote's bans, restrictions, and warnings make no sense. Even Chinese people hate how mysterious the platform is, how it never makes sense, and that there are hidden rules that nobody knows about.

At least speaking from a foreigner perspective, it was always a bit ridiculous to rely on RedNote as something you will always have access to.

I absolutely love RedNote. I post daily and interact a lot with other posts too. I even somehow managed to get over 1,000 followers.

That said, I know that one day my account WILL be banned or shadowbanned or I will be put on perma-lurk mode. It will be a sad day when that comes, but I will enjoy Rednote while I have access to it with the understanding that my access is not guaranteed

We did it! We broke Meta (for now)

I don't know if anyone else goes on Reels, but ever since this weekend, Reels has been randomly showing me content from Chinese creators and "pro China" content similar to XHS (i.e. "China's living in 2050" type stuff). It's not A LOT by any means, but when I'm on it, it's definitely 1 every 15 Reels or so. Maybe it's just happening to me (or to people like me who have accounts on both), but I didn't really get any Chinese content (from actual Chinese creators) before this. Of course, they're speaking English with an accent, but still. Anyway, thought that was funny, especially since I rarely go on Reels anymore since being on XHS.

rant: i really hate rednote

I'm Chinese, and I've been living in China for 6 years now. I did briefly grow up in Canada, which, honestly, brutally fucked up my Chinese when I was younger, which means that my Chinese is nearly native level speaking-wise, not so much texting-wise. I hate the glaze that abcs/cbcs get for using shitty Chinese, but when I misunderstand a comment in Chinese and ask stuff, I get told by other Chinese netizens that I'm not Chinese and I'll never be Chinese enough and uncultured and i should go dickride white people and then I report it, and nothing happens because I reported it with my fuckass Chinese. i get this sm now js because my IP says Canada because I'm visiting my family there rn. what the fuck. i hate my life i hate being told im an immigrant in one place and then when i actually go the fuck home back to my 'home country' i get told that im uncultured and stupid and "dickriding the west." can we delete all chinese men above 40 from the app please please please please please i cant stand ts anymore i would rather be on twitter and being spammed by bots like 'big boobed janette' than ts.

The heiress's pawn

THE HEIRESS’S PAWN ♟️ Everyone wants something from the Phacharathakun family. Orm wants everything. Orm (Kornnaphat), 23, is the daughter no one should underestimate. Beautiful. Intelligent. Calculating. Her mother has always chosen her brother, Win (Metawin), 26), over her. So Orm stops trying to win her mother's love. Instead, she decides to take what truly matters—the family empire. And Orm doesn't play fair. Win is the family's perfect gentleman. Kind, obedient, and unable to say no to his mother. But behind that perfect image is a secret he has tried to keep buried. Nycha (Nuttanicha), 26. She was his lover during university. They loved each other in secret, until Win's mother decided he would marry Jingjing (Wine). Win doesn't know how to choose between his family and the woman he loves. Nycha only knows that he betrayed her. Heartbroken and furious, she accepts an unexpected offer from Orm—to enter the Phacharathakun family. Orm tells her she can have her revenge. But Orm knows something Nycha doesn't realize. She already knows why Nycha really agreed. Orm investigated her before she ever made the offer. She knows about Nycha's hidden intentions, her anger, and the revenge she wants. And she lets her continue anyway. Because Orm doesn't fear dangerous people. She uses them. Then there's Wine, Orm's former tutor and the woman who once became her secret fling. Wine still wants her, still believes there is something between them. But Orm has already moved on. She has no time for love when an empire is waiting for her. As forbidden love, betrayal, revenge, and family ambition collide, Nycha enters the Phacharathakun family believing she is walking into Orm's trap with a plan of her own. What she doesn't know is— Orm knew the plan before Nycha even made it. Because in Orm's world, nobody is innocent. Nobody is safe. And every person she loves—or destroys—is just another piece on her chessboard. Nycha may be the pawn. But Orm is the one holding the crown. ♟️
