TikTok refugees have already noted harsh restrictions on RedNote that have resulted in their content being removed or their accounts being suspended, including for mentioning LGBTQ+ identities or for women, wearing a slightly low-cut top.

    I think they’re going to relax a lot of the rules just like TikTok did.

    It’s just happened so fast they couldn’t adjust in time.

    Give it a week or two and they’ll completely separate the US and Chinese userbases, with different standards for each.

      This app was never meant for the non-chinese audience. If they want to make a foreign alternative they’d have to segregate it like TikTok vs Douyin and ban the foreign version in the mainland. If that’s the case the nice cultrual exchange moments wouldn’t happen anymore.

        Yeah, that’s what I’m saying…

        They’re going to pick money over morals and split.

      IDK I read somewhere that some Chinese communications authority said that there was no plan to do that and they welcomed the interaction between people. To just be respectful and whatever.

      But then again this is the Internet and we all know the famous quote:

        I mean, there’s gonna be a heavy algorithm…

        Even if not “intentional” it’s going to segregate by language used.

        They’re not going to turn down inheriting the US user base due to morals, they’ll take the money.
