Social Observations: Little Red Book, the tik tok replacer

[PBAC]

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

The firewall is to protect their users from a platform that is not regulated by their standards. You shouldn't have an issue going into their platforms. I am assuming users will get banned for saying Taiwan is a country or make gay marriage legal in China. Try some 1989 or free HK references. You will probably get banned.

As of right now theres light tension and a feeling of being guided watched and poke. If it is a legit cultural exchange its very interesting.

I am keeping it kosher. I can already see some trolling from chinese that the westerners arent picking up on but its all so eerily polite. I do get the impression there is some sort testing bubble around foreigner in the app. Lots of social prodding and no doing this or that from most chinese users.

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.

Joining Tik Tok, a CCP spy app is already dumb, now these young Americans voluntarily joining another blatant CCP spy app with the name Little Red Note/Book is just peak brain rot

Xi is probably laughing his ass off at how easy this is

Also thank you TS for checking this out.

I'm learning mandarin to earn those social credit scores

97% looks like a product test ground. Top liked vids tonight are at 20k again and all between tiktok refugees and chinese educators. Either the app is fake or the internationals have been cordoned off for testing.

Interestingly most of the top questions are on whether or not the social credit system exists and they say it doesnt.

The "educators" are also eager to point out that religious or political issues are not to be talked about. So which true is the true true.

You can't mention that Taiwan is number one or you will get banned

No one is testing the others, for obvious reasons, but they are saying LGBTQ content is not out of the question so long as you dont promote it or use it for poltical means. Thats what i see them saying. They also have literal "rule readers" pushing the feeds but they are skirting around this. They say no political content but gaza vids are creeping in.

Also, the users on the app being accused of chinese puppeteering are being redirected to Russian and Chinese alternatives. If its a legit interaction theres still a lot of red flags.

 

[RoastBeast]

Why are grown men involved in this again?

Ask them about social credit. My homie swears it is not real but I don't have confirmation.
