That would be a shame. I'm really enjoying the app, sharing pictures of food and recipes with people half a globe away is really cool. And there's a lot of interest in fishing in China, it's cool to see their techniques, what they do the same, what they do differently.
And everyone is just so nice! They've built a really positive community and culture on RedNote and it's unique to be able to see that kind of thing work, at least compared to American social media.
I get why they don't want US influence and what-not and I could see how a bunch of Americans treating it like Tiktok would be problematic for maintaining the vibe they've cultivated, but it's a really refreshing change of pace from other social media.
The problem with China is really the government. Democracy is a concept that the CCP really doesn't like.
To be fair, though: The US government isn't really all that keen on democracy, either.
They have that newfangled word for it now. What was it? Olymarkie? Oldmalarkie? Oh, what was it…
