  Some may use some work around to use the international version which will be free of us control.

  I guess people will just use rednote, Chinese tiktok which is also Chinese but like Rednote has Chinese userbase idk I know that’s what they used when tiktok got “banned” for few days or hours.

    And what happened was hilarious.

    Chinese users were asking US ones if it was true about potentially going bankrupt from a medical emergency as they thought it was Chinese govt propaganda.

    Then were asking about maternity leave, housing, workers rights and being similar aghast that the truth wasn’t propaganda!

    So they can use the Chinese propaganda app or the US propaganda app.

      At this point China doesn’t need propaganda, they just let the chinese users look at the US user’s misery by themselves and sit back.

      When Rednote was first flooded by the first wave of TikTok refugees, the chinese users were baffled just how much worse it was than their propaganda said. Which is probably why they just let it go and didn’t immediately shut it down.

    Rednote is pretty different vibes, I’m on it but not nearly as much as TikTok. It’s pretty interesting for what it is but it’s not a replacement and it’s not competing to be a replacement either.

    I would guess they’ll probably move to Bytedance’s other app, Lemon8, or probably Skylight Social as Bluesky is generally pretty popular with the particular part of TikTok I’m on, so everyone already have ATproto accounts and follows.

  I’ve never had a TT account but have been on Rednote for months. I don’t use any other social media outside of it, except Bluesky. Rednote is fun and folks are nice. It’s very focused on learning and sharing, so you get content that’s actually interesting, as opposed to the onslaught of hateful, vitriolic bullshit US-based social media loves to force into your feed alongside the 50 ads.
