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.

Any thirts trap that I found in meta I told them to fuck off... Then they tried with asian ladies... I told them to fuck off as well... I'm doing my part.

I've noticed the Chinese content too.

There is lots of official China media in Meta. That include your favourite CGTN.

That's just Meta's algorithm working.

I've had foreign content, including China, for months now. Never built much of an algorithm on there as I don't get on it much. Honestly, not much of anything of mine has changed recently, including Tiktok. (I saw a lot talking about that too when it came back up)

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.
