Some say they joined Xiaohongshu, which translates to “little red book,” to spite the US government after a ban on TikTok became more likely.

    Oh my god, this made me laugh!

    the majority of the content on the platform is photo slideshows coupled with text, which is why people often view it more as a competitor to Instagram than TikTok.

    Which is super ironic given that instagram changed everything to push short video content and compete with tiktok

      The BBC spoke to someone who acquired a large following shortly after signing up.

      Some social media users tell the BBC that they find themselves scrolling on RedNote more than TikTok. “Even if TikTok does stay I will continue to use my platform I’ve created on RedNote,” Tennessee tech worker Sydney Crawley told the BBC. Ms Crawley said she got over 6,000 followers within 24 hours of creating her RedNote account. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c2475l7zpqyo

      The Guardian says over 500,000. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/14/tiktok-ban-rednote-app

      Some users are just petty. Ban TikTok for data sharing fears, then switch to another Chinese app out of spite.

    “I would rather stare at a language I can’t understand than to ever use a social media [platform] that Mark Zuckerberg owns,” said one user in a video posted to Xiaohongshu on Sunday.

    then why tf did you use tiktok

      TikTok is owned by ByteDance. Mark Zuckerberg does not own ByteDance

        Don’t they do the same things? In fact TikTok spies more stuff, but they just don’t sell it to private entities as much.

          Tiktok doesn’t push neo-Nazi propaganda as aggressively as X did and it doesn’t censor news with class consciousness like Meta does.
