REDnote is wild right now.

Everyone just shows up in the same feed. USians are making posts in English alongside all the posts in Chinese. I've seen Chinese users making jokes like "Give me your data!" or "Welcome, I'm your new Chinese spy". I saw one comment on a post that read, "They better start posting in English soon." which, was getting heavily flamed. Lots of Luigi posting, it would seem. I also keep getting Chinese accounts posting a lot of really cool Socialist Realism art/propaganda posters, old and new. Lots of cringe USians making posts about being "refugees" on the app.

  • Someone asked why they like Luigi so much, this was the top response:

    中国是一个倾向于集体主义的国家,如果有一个人为了集体去奉献自己,那他会得到大家的尊重。中国甚至有奖项专门去表彰和宣传那些舍己为人的好人[害羞R]我们这个民族延续至今也是因为有很多像他那样的人,为了公共利益不顾自己的生命[害羞R]

    Google translate:

    China is a country that tends to be collectivist. If a person dedicates himself to the collective, he will be respected by everyone. China even has awards to recognize and promote good people who sacrifice themselves for others [shy R] Our nation continues to this day because there are many people like him who risk their own lives for the public good [shy R]

    Also saw this one:

    还有一个,sorry我忘记他名字了,自焚在以色列大使馆前面的那个美国军人,我忘记他是否退役了。中华文化里,推崇为民请愿和为正义发声的人。

    Google translate:

    There is another one, sorry I forgot his name, the American soldier who set himself on fire in front of the Israeli Embassy. I forgot whether he was retired. In Chinese culture, people who petition for the people and speak out for justice are highly respected.

    Response to that one:

    Aaron, another hero[哭惹R][哭惹R][哭惹R]

    Loving this app.

    EDIT: This also came up pretty quickly:

  • It took roughly 3 minutes of scrolling before I got a socialist art account ran by an account with a Stalin pfp. I felt right at home

  • Ahahahha this is fucking bonkers

    So many videos of things happening in China, so many Chinese people and they’re normal

    Because of course they are, no shit. Hope there is some dialogue about this on TikTok right now

  • The refugee shit is a little cring, but the genuine conversations are very cool. The political/historical posting is extremely good, I didn’t realize they were still doing Polandball though

  • Using this opportunity that we are having an agitprop contest here on Hexbear! Whatever leftist/hexbear related post a Hexbear user makes on Xiaohongshu and accumulates the most interactions will be featured in the agitprop community on the 19th (day TikTok is set to be banned in the US)

    More details here!

  • The "Usian and their Chinese spy meeting each other" memes are so funny. I've had an account for a while but dont usually use video-based social media. This is too good to miss though.

  • some wishful bloomer-posting: the final Blowback season will be about the tik-tok ban, including it's lead up and the U.S. escalation with China.

    it won't be as grim as the others, more light hearted and internet-brained. but for the final closing season it will be appropriate. it will close the entire book of a series that is basically about the consequences of the U.S. war on communism.

    The first positive feel-good ep of Blowback, for it tells the story of the U.S. anti-communist op that actually blows back on capitalism and U.S. empire itself

  • The app's algorithm is now serving me a lot of queer content.

    It's amazing (and also quite annoying) seeing Westerners be so surprised by any of it. On a video I saw in which two Chinese guys were being in love with each other, I saw a Westerner comment: "don't you get stoned for this??", and a Chinese user replied: "of course not, we have gay bars in China, don't believe all that nonsense"

  • I've made an account (not American) and my first picks was some cat, Luigi Mangione fanart and those Chinese hyperrealistic fursuits. They've got me nailed down from the start
