    What I don’t understand is why RedNote?

    Has it been pushed and advertised by TikTok?

    There are countless other established platforms. Not sure why.

      tiktok has(d) developed into a hivemind where tens of millions of people (or more?) can be a part of a discussion. This made it easy for trends to spread rapidly, such as deciding where to migrate with the impending tiktok ban. From my own experience on tiktok, the last few weeks there was much discussion of where to go, and it appears the hivemind settled on rednote.

        it’s been pushed on lemmy as well, but maybe indirectly. nobody of the people who push it seems to know why tiktok really gets banned or they are obfuscating it.

      Its Chinese controlled and the US government dislikes the Chinese state. That’s pretty much it. Its pure spite for the US government.

        It’s not like China allows Facebook, so really it’s just a very delayed tit for tat response.
