It am fully aware that this has to be a scam of some kind but what is the benefit of having me show up In WhatsApp or Telegram or any other app? I never do it and the conversations have that “I feel we are making a connection” scam vibe but anyone out there actually know the mechanics of the scam and how they would benefit from kiting me to a new app?
💯 a scam, they are trying to get you with some sort of scam that involves you giving money to them in a way that can't be tracked/traced. You don't need to move to any other app. Just don't message people outside of Red Note and you will be fine.
It's definitely a scam. I have had a few requests and have ignored them.
WhatsApp is Meta. Forget it.
What I do, is suggest to talk on instagram, Snapchat, or another American app if they claim to be American. If they don’t have it, red flag.
those are "private" apps with encryption so it can't be traced by the authorities. then they try to get you to send crypto and therefore no trace for the authorities to find.
and also they keep their main scam accounts on dating apps and other social media because it's a pain to create some accounts with appearance of a normal person - it takes many months to build up a legit looking account on reputable apps.
scammers like to consolidate the chats they are working on multiple people
Don't add any contact information, just chat here. I'm Chinese, and many Chinese people want to add you on WeChat because they're used to chatting on WeChat. Other platforms are just for sharing content. Of course, there are many bad people involved in scams.
I haven't experienced that so far. Just say no I guess?
100% scam, just block and report
RN's got a feature Western apps don't. Every reply shows the poster's IP. It's a rule set by the Chinese government. The latest joke on RN is that Nigerians and Indians handle Americans, while Burmese handle Chinese, each with their own "tasks." It might not be fair to the regular people in those countries, but it kinda reflects the reality.
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.
