more adventures on rednote mostly because it’s entertaining how mad people get when i talk about it :3 /halfjoke
this was posted 12/31 btw so i don’t think “the mods haven’t gotten to it yet” is a real thing
#le is common in parallel to the anglosphere’s #wlw which i think is adorable
my number one qualm with little red book so far is there is no native translation like tiktok has. lots of google translate is necessary to get the social media to social :P
necessary disclaimer: fuck the CCP and all the real violence and repression they do. just want to give credit given where due, and so far here im just seeing a lot of assumptions with no evidence? so im gonna post what my experience is :) i welcome all to do the same
Is LGBTQ+ content not restricted/shadow banned there? 31 hearts and 1 comment isn’t really a lot.
If Twitter took away the restricted flag, would anyone have known typing “cisgender” is blacklisted? Most corporate social media don’t publish what is or isn’t restricted.
Plus China officially encourages “”““traditional””“” gender roles since their demographic crisis will come crashing down soon, with LGBTQ+ centers and clubs being shut down by the government.
I was wondering this as well and have been incredibly surprised how different the landscape is from my assumptions. Their algorithm very quickly understood my identity and preferences and started mixing in a good amount of wlw content with just an overflow of positive comments and engagement. I was also super happy to see creators that I enjoy being welcomed and praised on the platform - creators which 100% of the time have people leave the most unkind comments on their posts. There’s one in particular, a man who showcases and slays in his dresses, which I’ve yet to see one negative comment towards. Time will tell how long things stay this way!
I got Chappel Roan and Sabrina Carpenter content within like 20 minutes of scrolling I felt so at home
People are really naive. I bet maos little red book has a special mode for people on the other side of the great firewall. China wants to look good to create soft power, they don’t want us to see all the tofu buildings collapsing they want us to see a girl living to western standards, not how the average Chinese lives
Do you think the Chinese gov planned this and has been preparing for this? Like they couldn’t just curate an entire social media sites worth of content just on the off chance that millions of Americans go there out of spite. Spite is rather unpredictable.
You know, when you put your app on the App Store you have to chose the region you want the app to be available in. So as rednote is available in the west they are prepared. And it’s not that hard to implement as their recommendation algorithm is fkn great, just look at the likes the OG post got and OP commented another post by the same account that got a magnitude more engagement. Apparently many also tested to post pro Taiwan or tiamin square content and their accounts got banned. China has a well documented history of massive censorship and media control, I mean their great firewall should give you an idea of what they do. It’s naive to think they release an App to the west without control of what it’s shown.
Xi just generated millions of AI Chinese to fool the West, what an elegant move!
Guess you can’t see beyond your lifelong propaganda, the truth might hurt sometimes but its necessary
He doesnt need to, there are millions creating contant, he just needs to order the company to filter to show “appropiate contant”
How would they implement what you’re claiming within the matter of days since red book took off?
A whole lot of this comment is western cope. And I’m not even a CCP fan, I’m an anarchist.
You’re not an anarchist your an idiot. Obviously they were prepared for this, you have to specify the regions your app is available. So the fact rednote is even available should be enough evidence. I mean a TikTok ban was talked about for months so they weren’t Surprised that a lot of people switched platform.
Good question. Here’s one from the same account with 16k likes. Any restrictions on LGBT content is not significantly worse than we already see from Meta and TikTok.
Re: the rest of your comment, yeah fuck the CCP as I said in OP. Just giving credit where due and a lot of people (like yourself) make a couple of (understandable) assumptions that are not backed up by any experience I have had yet.
What’s funny is China did their demo crisis to themselves with the one child policy
