Summary

Many Americans joining China’s social media platform RedNote are encountering strict censorship uncommon in Western platforms.

One non-binary user had a post asking if the platform welcomed gay people removed within hours.

Posts on LGBTQ+ topics, fitness photos, and sensitive cultural content have been censored, frustrating users unfamiliar with China’s moderation rules.

RedNote is hiring English-language moderators to handle the influx. While some users enjoy cultural exchange, others criticize restrictions.

Analysts see RedNote’s growth among US users as a soft power win for China.

    Why even bother talking with y’all? If I prove something you say is wrong, you just switch to something else (and yet you’re always accusing us of whataboutism!) and put words into my mouth that I never said. If you want to let yourself be deceived, I can’t stop you, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink.

        Correct. Tankies are the only socialists to produce successful revolutions capable of manufacturing tanks, or anything else. The options are: submit to capitalism, retreat into idealist fantasies, or become a tankie and actually do something 💅

                  This is why tankies are clowns. You state historical fact and they come back with warmed-over memes that they weren’t even clever enough to make themselves.
