Isn’t this a screenshot from Twitter/X?! So - probably a bot.
I’m not American, but downloaded RedNote (Little Red Book) to see what the fuss was about and it’s been a charming experience. I’m particularly loving the cooking videos!
Very very interesting to see normal Americans and normal Chinese people have discussions together on a social media app. And for them to show each other “slice of life” videos. Probably the first time that this has ever happened?
I did too, but charming was not how I would have described my experience. But interesting that was your take. My experience was confusion and a lot of Chinese women in poses or outfits that were clearly trying to titillate, and then 90% of everything was just images, and no easy way to move between things. I gave it an honest try, but if rather do democratic socialism locally than agree to be a communist in a ToS
Example from me opening the app right now and getting the default feed:
Whoa! No that’s not what I got at all! And if you click into what looks like a still image you’re suddenly in a feed of videos. Who knows what their UX is doing.

Utterly hilarious situation, tbh.
