Big brother watching

Unlike most of American apps. The moderation of RedNote is run by real people and they have at least 1 person from the Chinese government that also overlooks everything.

And I'm assuming they're on high alert from the sudden influx of foreigners coming in.

You know… people like you are really sad. I have no idea if you’re really Chinese but what is sad is someone spending this much time (whether this time is being compensated or not) trying to control any hope of cultural bridge building. You’re no different than the dour, dystopian, worst possible case scenarios you’ve spent what appears to be your entire Reddit existence spinning. Big brother may be watching, but so is Zuck, and so is Siri, and so is everyone else. But instead of presenting all those facts in equal measure, you deploy highly propagandized tactics in a desperate attempt to prevent humans from saying hello to each other. If you were really Chinese you would be making posts helping bridge the cultural gap, not whatever fearmongering BS this is.

There’s definitely a steep learning curve when it comes to using Chinese social media. I know certain topics, like ‘Tank Man’ or even the year of that uprising, would get me banned instantly. Chinese users seem to treat social media very differently from us Americans. They focus more on presenting themselves in a professional, polished, and aspirational way, whereas we tend to post anything and everything. That’s a huge part of what made TikTok so popular it thrives on relatable, unfiltered content that was more authentic. The cultural and social norms around rednote use are just completely different.

I found this interesting.

Platform in China do self-censorship to avoid potential trouble. Most of the time they tend to over-do it. CN gov really don't have that much energy to monitor 1.4 billion people.

Only the conspirators are afraid of being wathed.

Every conversation gets monitored, you just have to stay clear of sensitive topics.

Dude are you for real? You act like people are stupid or some shit. I read your comments on this post and you make yourself sound authentic by saying you've lived in china for 20 years and the us for 20. But what you said is not the same of what ive experienced in china. I too have lived in China and the US for a long time.

You are arguing with bad faith all over the place. Not directly banning tiktok but delisting it from the app stores are pretty much the same as banning it. On top of that, google or apple or other US companies can't provide any services to tiktok. Do you even know what that means to a social media platform?

For the folks who are new to the rednote. This platform is not serving for the purpose of political topics but normal daily life like food, travle or other fan part of life. The slogan of the platform is the wiki for your daily life. Political part is not really the true purpose how this platform is built. If you want to know how Chinese people live, here's the right place. If people want to talk about other serious topics, Rednote may not the correct one to choose. Please kindly be aware, rules give people freedom because people know where the freedom is.

With all due respect, we Chinese used to say 二鬼子比鬼子更狠。

鬼子 (literally demon?) refers to the Japanese invaders in WWII, China.

二鬼子 (literally 2nd demon?) refers to the Chinese traitors who collaborated with Japanese in WWII.

So what we used to say basically means, traitors are more ruthless and more hateful than enemies.
