Now that tiktok may be banned in the US a lot of people are moving to the next Chinese social network.
If they can’t use one service that the Chinese government can use to spy on you then they’re going to use another service that the Chinese government can use to spy on you .
You’ve gotten a few answers already that explain what it is, but a lot of the discussion misses the “why” of the situation. There’s a strong anti-US government part to the whole situation that basically says “if you’re going to ban tiktok in the US because you’re afraid of China getting our data/controlling the algorithm then we’ll just join a social media site whose servers are actually in China!” It’s a big FU to the government.
Apparently it’s a Chinese TikTok alternative
What I don’t understand is why RedNote?
Has it been pushed and advertised by TikTok?
There are countless other established platforms. Not sure why.
The new thing the kids flocked to because the adults found their old thing and started to join/ regulate it.
Its one of the few platforms where you can be anti Zionist and not being cancelled.
