more like “bad overcrowded space”
none of the admins are malicious outright but they are ill equipped to administer to such a volume of userspace

- Comment on Steam has the best UI 4 days ago:
probably boosts user performance for users who have more experience like you but slightly hinders new users who haven’t got the hang of it yet
if steam prioritizing retention of growing userbase is one of its goals, it’s not a bad strategy in my opinion
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 4 days ago:
i know im silly for this but this is part of steam’s charm for me. i like that it just feels genuine like steam isn’t trying to lull you with all the tried and true marketing and UI best practices. it feels very practical, like using old windows 9X UIs.

A theory I have is that cancel culture as we will eventually know it will be considered to have simply had a rocky start. Instances where social cancellation is greatly overapplied or underapplied to an unjust degree continue to happen, but to a lesser degree each year it seems.
The social media revolution was a huge shock to popular culture and the social patterns that communicate it. It makes sense that it would take time for society to level out its reactions in response.

rude lol you told me i misstated and i responded with everything i know. all three titles, 2 english, 1 mandarin-english transliteration, are common even on the app itself
always welcome to counterexamples but i see no evidence of hiding going on from all my personal experience :)
- Comment on downloaded rednote and this a frequent emote in the comments 5 days ago:
didn’t misstate. yes the mandarin title xiaohongshu most directly translates to little red book. what might you call a little book? a notebook. note. so rednote, little red book, or red notebook are all translations of the original. rednote is simply the easiest to say for anglophones as it’s fewer syllables and the one that has been chosen colloquially. not that complicated lol.
more info is available right on wikipedia none of this is like a secret or something:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaohongshu
The app was initially called “Hong Kong Shopping Guide” and targeted Chinese tourists.[8]
The name Xiaohongshu or ‘Little Red Book’ was inspired by its co-founder Mao Wenchao [zh]'s career at Bain & Company and education at the Stanford Graduate School of Business; both institutions feature red as their main color.[9][10]
‘Little Red Book’ is also the English nickname for the 1964 compilation Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung.[8][11]
The app is often called RedNote by U.S. users.[10][12]

No I just don’t trust implicitly people who have lied to me in the past. GPT has lied to me frequently.
