Social Observations: Little Red Book, the tik tok replacer

[TheTickG]

So i am trying this with some hesitancy as anyone should be aware that the name in English is Red Note but in Chinese is Little Red Book, a blatant ref to Mao's of the same name. I dont invite anyone here to use it but i encourage the willing or brave to send back their findings. I think this is better in the mayberry as it is a social app and this is the social section of the forum. Also this is more about exchanging experiences to safe test and warn or recommend based on what we thinkm

1. The main company is direct accesible and guided by the CCP. It is not a spy tool per se but it means you have to apply by ccp rules.
2. Breaching these rules they can access only in app usage and sites accessed via the app including third party tracking companies.
3. The exchanges between westerners and chinese are very polite and in the probing stages of relationship building.
4. I note some preset memes from the chinese users. With no ground to build on they colectively asked for the cat or dog tax in which westerners were asked to speak chinese or pay the cat tax to post photos of their pets. Cute playful behavior but have the wonder how it started so much in a single day.
5. Before tiktok closure the app was not hugely accesible to foreign users now it is open international. What happened to the great firewall?
6. AI is rampant with many very fake profiles and absurdly smart children talking down to adults.
7. Top videos, that ive seen at least, are in the 20k like range. For china this seems very small which makes me feel the westerners are being market tested

I work with people in China. At least one of my China colleagues is endorsing it as a great source of information. I, however, will not use it.

I read some article on it, some TikTokers were crying about how they rather move to China than use Reel / IG..
Let that sink in.
Kudos China you succeeded.

Using TiKToK or any other Chines SoMe in 2025 pretty much makes you an idiot.

Looks like UFC has joined. Dana made an announcement and hes being bombarded with go back to meta jabs.

Like Facebook, IG, Windows, Google, and whatever else doesn't already do the same shit. Wouldn't surprise me if the same people responsible for banning tiktok were the same people who made an investment in its replacement before the move. Guess we'll see if this takes off.

I read something along those lines. It is troubling. TikTok makes money for many Americans. I hope Tik Tok is sold to someone else that has Americans better interest.

....TikTok is a major income stream for a whole lot of influencers, including some who target the right, and a bunch of them, including Candace Owens, appear to have joined RedNote or Little Red Book, as in Mao’s Little Red Book, to protest America ‘censoring’ TikTok.

Some of the influencers newly on RedNote have taken to praising Communist China and denouncing America.

The only thing this does is demonstrate why Chinese Communist tech and apps have no place in America.

Yes i see that this morning. Some familiar TT faces abruptly praising china with stuff like "i was always told china was this but its actually not" ... this was more subtle in TT with the algo low key promoting chinese heritage. The moat viewed video today is a bunch of western influencers sitting in a green screened resturaunt being amazed how much food they are being given and then they start performing their act, e.g singing over the meal.

Because it's a propaganda platform run by a malicious foreign operative.

“TikTok intentionally targets children because they know kids do not yet have the defenses or capacity to create healthy boundaries around addictive content,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta in a statement. “TikTok must be held accountable for the harms it created in taking away the time — and childhoods — of American children.”

People are so stupid.

Tiktok is a Chinese info farming op feeding meta data to their military.

It gets rightfully banned and instead of saying "good, fuck em, let's take down twitter next" ya'll are out here downloading Mao's little red book onto your phones.

Lol it's insane
