Well color me constipated, because no shit.
So mh maybe spread shit talk in ALL languages on rednote for break them by their censoring?
This is why I’m against using Rednote myself. Just try searching tiananmen square in Rednote and you won’t get any results.
Someone here was defending it the other day claiming that China wouldn't use it for propaganda purposes because politics is banned there.
They didn't see the problem with that.
Oh, well that makes it completely useless then.

Leopards and Faces...
Anyone who has been using Xitter over the last couple of years has already experienced Chinese style censorship.
Chinese style censorship is more consistent, though. No one is making up rules on the fly.
This is consistent. Anything that makes the racists, fascists, incels, tech bros, and billionaires uncomfortable is blocked.

China censors all literature, film, music, and internet discourse employing advanced technologies and multiple tens of thousands of people while also running the world's largest prison for journalist. VPNs are blocked. Apps like Signal are blocked. Online gaming for minors is limited to 3 hours per day on weekends and holidays only. People get harassed by police for what they post online. Many go to jail for criticizing the government, spreading pornography or health related sexual content (including anything LGBT), supporting Taiwanese independence, or casting doubt on Chinese folk legends. Then, in addition to that (which I have not even begun to do justice to), all media companies run their own internal censorship regimes so as not to get in trouble with the authorities. And this rolls downhill: you the individual self-censor to not get in trouble with your boss or worse.

You can just go on the app and you'll see it for yourself, they don't bite.

There's lots of posts of people asking opinions about LGBT stuff and the platform has a large lesbian community.
-
The app is originally more popular with women and the norm is to assume anonymous users are female, "sis" is considered complementary and a sign of acceptance.
-
My Hero Academia is considered cancelled because the manga included a reference to Unit 731, which did some real Nazi shit in WWII.

Chinese politics and history post-revolution is a sensitive topic and generally avoided. If you're planning to go there so you can tell them about Tienanmen Square and how their government is evil, don't bother lol.

There are a few Western fascists trying to get on there, probably in hopes that the moderators won't recognize their dogwhistles (things like 1488, groyper, etc). They banned Nick Fuentes before he could post anything because they recognized the name, and I've seen posts circulating warning about their keywords. Hopefully the moderators they're hiring will help nip it in the bud.

Generally, like, remember that you're a guest and your experience will probably be fine. I've been surprised at both sides being respectful, and people are generally happy to have us. I'm sure there's parts of the Chinese internet that are much less pleasant but RedBook seems like a pretty amiable cultural crossing point. It's a unique opportunity to see another perspective without just going out on your own and there's no telling how long it'll last.
I am taking lots of notes from all the Chinese spies so that I can become a better Chinese spy for everyone here on Lemmy 🤗

Do you think maybe that's possibly a bad thing?
From my experience, it's a place for lighthearted fun.
I hated using Instagram and Facebook because of the toxic right-wingers always starting shit.
So imagine my surprise when these right-wing instigators actually get banned when I report them on RedNote.
Get wrecked idiots, finally a social app with an actual code of conduct.
This is the irony of it all. People are encountering Chinese censorship and realizing they prefer it over American censorship. XD
Ridiculous. I've seen comments removed from tiktok for using the word dumb, but some right wing Russian bot comes along and says the most evil, vile shit you've ever seen and you report it and the moderators always just happen to not find anything wrong with it. That's not 'American censorship' that's bullshit.
That's literally American censorship and you can see the same pattern on all large American social media platforms. Youtube has the gamer to fascist pipeline set up with their recommendation system. Facebook recently did an "about face" which was really just making official their love of fascism. Twitter... is twitter. The capitalist class has always been fine with fascism and the platforms they own reflect that. Language is policed more than fascist rhetoric because advertisers don't like the language.
