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.

    If you’re looking to learn a new language that’s actually useful to learn and also pretty easy, I would recommend Indonesian. It’s a bastardized version of Malaysian but with more thought put into it.

    Edit: As others have pointed out, it’s not actually a useful language to learn unless you’re in Indonesia, so I retract that.

      As someone who was forced to learn it in primary school, it’s never once been useful.

      At best it’s a baik-baik saja language to learn.

      Thanks for the suggestion! I’m not sure if I’ll ever truly learn another language, but I’ll be sure to remember this just in case I’m in a situation where I’d like to!

      Unless you’re in Indonesia how is learning that language useful at all?

      The world is rapidly (compared to history) moving towards ONE language. We don’t know which one it’ll be but all the signs are there. One thing we know for certain though is that only today’s top 5 are contenders and Indonesian isn’t one of them.

      Another thing we know is that languages that use ideographic writing systems are on the way out. The spoken language may survive but the written language just can’t compete with languages that use phonographic alphabets and spelling. It’s just too inefficient to remember all the symbols and write them out and it’s nearly impossible to write a program or script with them (and maintain such code).

      It looks like latin characters are going to win out for sure. Probably with emoji being accepted as acceptable grammar/cues/hints at some point.

        You have an interesting attitude toward learning.
