"lol tiktok users would rather learn mandarin than come to tumblr" yeah man that's crazy. who would have thought that people from the video-based dopamine-machine app wouldn't decide to join the text- and image- based no-algorithm website?
Anyone else think we should just not go back to using tiktok and keep using rednote? If they wanna take something away just to give it back when they feel like they’ve one (like a narcissistic toxic parent would) then maybe we should just not use tiktok anymore????? Idk, im not really caught up on the whole thing or all the minor points of it, but it kinda feels like continuing to use rednote would just be better
Okay so I'm not American and I don't live there but I still decided to download xiaohongshu (rednote). The only social media I actually use and post on is Tumblr but I wanted to have little nosey lol.
First of all it was really quite funny and heartwarming to see the interactions between the Americans and Chinese rednote users, there where so many Chinese internet slang cheat sheets and memes being exchanged and taught, like the American tiktok refugees where so ready to learn a whole new language so they could participate in meme culture and I love it, lmao not to mention how there's a Chinese saying where it basically means cute aggression, but for when they see a cute cat and when you translate it to English it reads as I want to lick your cat and that was definitely a bit of a funny misunderstanding lmao.
But overall I kinda love how petty the Americans from tiktok where, they literally said we are going to go straight to the supposed source. ngl not the finest moment when asked for help on English homework the answers given where wrong lmao, it's apparently being agreed upon that when asking for English homework help on rednote, it's best to ask a British user instead of an American one lol.
But it is nice to see people exchanging culture and joy even with a language barrier and the Chinese users where and are so welcoming.
Well, yes, it’s obvious why Rednote is a bigger threat now.
