This Is Why You Should NOT Trust The Chinese SNS Rednote

This is about someone—me—who tried to protect myself and my content, only to get punished for it.

I shared a personal thought on Rednote about how it feels to speak Japanese after spending a long time in Japan. The post resonated with many people and gained some attention. But then, out of nowhere, a user sent me a direct message:
“You don’t even fit in, and you still run your mouth?”

It made me deeply uncomfortable. So, I posted a follow-up, saying something like:
“This person is so rude. Be careful.”

Guess what? Rednote flagged my post, saying:
“Your notes involve sarcasm, defamation, verbal abuse, personal attacks, or the exposure of others' private information.”

In other words, I was warned for simply speaking up about being insulted.

That’s how Rednote operates. They don’t actually deal with the root of the issue or look into the context. They just make a judgment call based on their own logic—and that’s final.

I didn’t do anything harmful. I didn’t attack anyone. All I did was call out inappropriate behavior. But in the end, I got warned for it.

So yeah, if you think Rednote is a fair platform—think again.
