How does it differ culturally from here? Should I avoid some things or are there Chinese social media norms I should be aware of?
Apparently, you should be exclusively posting cats
It’s pretty vanilla tbh, but there is some commie stuff you can find pretty easily. It’s a lot of normal cute stuff and hobby stuff though.
Its all been pretty friendly and wholesome. Translating your posts and comments into Chinese also is a good idea. The app doesn’t have a translate feature.
Apparently My Hero Academia is a no no
That’s hilarious lmao, anyone know why though?
I know nothing about it. The explantation I saw was that they clowned on things like unit 731 and the war crimes in Nanking in a way that was disrespectful of the history. (I have no idea what the content is but) it’s perceived as nasty Japanese imperialism to them, so posting about it makes you look like a Nazi.
Americans/Euros keep posting about it and getting flagellated, but it could be because the moderation team is swamped rn
Only speak in Maoist Standard English
Why not lurk for a while and find what the overall community likes before you start posting?
I must post
It is also banned if you’re in the US btw
still seems to be working fine
Yeah so is TikTok the ban isn’t in effect yet.
where’d you see a xhs ban reported
The actual ban isn’t for TikTok. It’s for any foreign adversary app over a certain size.
The law, called the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, wouldn’t only impact TikTok. Any app with ties to what the United States government designates as a foreign adversary, like China, could effectively be banned, including both RedNote and Lemon8, alongside other apps, like ByteDance’s video editing app CapCut
could be banned
Not sure how to interpret that
Then everyone’s getting together to make a very brief poignant point. “Oh you can only use our private media” fuck you suckerberg
