This subreddit is so heavily bot astroturfed
The whole move to BlueSky thing is incredibly bot astroturfed. You cannot tell me with a straight face that this is organic activity:
The post about moving to BlueSky somehow has more upvotes in less than a day, than Liverpool winning the PL for the first time in three decades!
I wish they were all bots and not just racist.
Questions like this absolutely destroy AI unlike any other. It’s the best test I know of as a sort of “captcha” for comment bots right now
“Hostile foreign government” lol, lmao even. Did the US State Department write this?
It actually might have been. Some of the commenters alleged that the head mod is literally a fed
I mean, probably.
The anti-China hysteria is comically over the top, but it’s kinda hard to laugh at the pure delusion
At least some of the comments are better now that it hit popular
well I did my best in the antiwork trenches comrades but the lib brain rot is too much for me so I’m signing off. May another comrade pick up my rifle and continue to fight on after me for fear of being gunned down by hexbear mods for retreating /s.
lib brain rot
it’s amazing how even when they are acknowledging hatred of their own country they still fall for the propoganda that China is evil and must hate them. ahahahaha.
At least the users are mostly pissed and explicitly pretty China stuff is getting upvoted
Unlike Reddit where the director of policy is a former Atlantic Council ghoul. You know… a patriot.
This is just living in a bubble. I guess that’s how libs plan to deal with another 4 years of Trump. Brunch 2.0, just shut the windows and doors, batten down the hatches, and pretend everything is fine. Nothing to see here.
So … the same thing they did under Biden?
I’m starting to think this is just the default Lib behavior
I also think the whole “let’s move to BlueSky” thing on Reddit is being botted/manipulated/astroturfed, all the activity seems very inorganic. Some Reddit admins seem to be quite invested in making BlueSky happen.
It definitely is right now, but they’ve stopped pretending to #resist like they did under Trump and they’ve also stopped pretending to be socially progressive like they did under Obama

Yeah, hostile to who? this is sinophobic shit.
I chose a good name
They should ban Reddit-related content too.
Everything you hear on Rednote is propaganda! Plug your ears and cover your eyes! Don’t listen to it!
I know it was a Chinese app for a Chinese audience and that it’s essentially been invaded by a bunch of Americans recently, but i swear everyone on there is just bots pretending they’re normal people purely to propagandize Americans.
USAians are the most self-centered people in the world 🙄
See also: When Hexbear federated with lemmy. A forum that was just doing their own thing for years was secretly bots and trolls just keeping up appearances to trick The Most Important People In The World.
China created RedNote and filled it with bots who were just interacting with each other for years just on the off chance that Westerners might someday discover it, just like they did with Hexbear.
It’s the perfect plan.
Its literally cooking and gardening videos. And language lessons.-
As someone who never used tiktok and would like to avoid its brainrot, is there a way to make rednote a bit less like what I imagine tiktok to be? Every topic you mentioned speaks to me, but my attention span is already getting ruined and I don’t want to put oil on the fire.
Its inherently better. The algorithm isn’t so virality focused, this is what I have heard anyway and it feels true. The content isn’t affected by the “attention economy” that plagues western social media. The app itself also just has better features than tiktok.
I can’t say what it was like before and how many Americans will stick around, but they just added am auto translate feature so its much easier to interact and comment and not need to mess with copy and pasting to another translation app.
If you aren’t afraid of the big terrible scary CCP undermining national security I would recommend checking it out. I also think you don’t need an account to browse it on desktop
Its just my personal experience but I find myself scrolling slower and spending more time on longer form videos. At the very least it is refreshing for my ADHD brain to not be assaulted by 50% ads and 40% pointless memes that tiktok has
Something I wanna add: Rednote’s “home” page is not an infinite scroll like on TT, but a list of videos and image posts based on your algorithm, which makes me scroll it less mindlessly because I’m kinda choosing which videos to watch instead of just being served them.
I never used tiktok much either, but I’ve been really enjoying rednote so far. As for attention span worries, it might be hit or miss for you, depending on what worries you. Much like tiktok, rednote is also mostly scrolling through lots of short videos, so that part is the same. But I’ve found the algorithm to be surprisingly good at giving you what you want. My feed is mainly lots of cooking videos, cat/dog videos, cute little cartoon frogs, badass communist imagery, outdoor/travel stuff, etc. I find it much more wholesome and less brainrotty/doomscrolly than tiktok. Every time I went on tiktok I felt like it only showed me people sitting in their car ranting and clips of right wing youtube assholes. I’ve seen almost none of that garbage on rednote.
So will it be China who gets the blame for Trump this time?
There have been a few “Trump is obviously bought by China” posts since the primaries. Wouldn’t be surprised if they go with this.
BREAKING: Trump strikes Beijing. Experts suggest this was ordered by Xi.
A brilliant false-flag to justify the Chinese occupation of the continental US and liberation of Guam.
“we hate our own government but we will also believe everything they say about its enemies and act in its best interests”
Workers of the World Unite!.. unless they are apart of an adversarial government as defined by our capitalist oligarchs and businessmen, then prepare for war!
A comment in that thread
Kautskyism after 1914 is wrong. Kautskyism after 1918 is wrong and ridiculous.
