Meanwhile many are going to another chinese app, RedNote.
- raverbashing 2y agoI think its name is actually Xiaohongshu - "Little Red Book" (you know, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotations_from_Chairman_Mao_Tse-tung https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotations_from_Chairman_Mao_T... )

- SiempreViernes 2y agoIf that is the first thing Americans do that makes you worry.... well, I'm sure you have some interesting takes.
- BiteCode_dev 2y agoNot the first, but the general idea that the usa behave like ignorant entitled kids with too much power is indeed very worrying for the rest of the world.
- redserk 2y agoYeah… This thread exemplifies the HN trope of the “analytical type” who thinks they’re more social and more intelligent than others while coming across as bizarrely out of touch. It’s basically the r/athiesm equivalent.
- BiteCode_dev 2y agoThey don't know. The average american is super uneducated and can barely read a graph. Most of the ones that heard about it probaly did thanks to the netlix adaptation to the 3 body problem, but certainly not school.

- stevenAthompson 2y agoFifty-four percent of Americans now read below the 6th grade level.
- nozzlegear 2y ago> The average american is super uneducated What makes you think this? Vibes?
- suraci 2y agoThis is exactly the comment I want to see > It is very worrying to me No other comments can be more brilliant than this
- onionisafruit 2y agoYou mean it isn’t a Harvey Penick tribute?
- cyp0633 2y agoThey are simply different translations, period. The book you mentioned is usually referred to as "红宝书" (Red Precious Book). Don't know where the translation on Wikipedia comes from.
- j16sdiz 2y agoSearch "小红书 毛語錄" in Google. You can see it is referenced in both way. The name 红宝书 is popular in mainland China. Chinese from Taiwan or other se asian community just call it 小红书 or 毛語錄
- suraci 2y agoHahaha Guess what 1. As you mentioned, Xiaohongshu, is the same name of Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung 2. The CEO of Xiaohongshu has the surname Mao 3. The headquarters of Xiaohongshu is located near the site of the First National Congress of CPC obviously, this is part of CPC's conspiracy
- richiebful1 2y agoThat seems unlikely. The play store lists it at 10m+ downloads and it's still a very Chinese app. I checked it out myself. This is people trying to troll the US government
- tempworkac 2y agowhat seems unlikely? it's simply a fact that many are going to the other app. as you said yourself, 10m+ downloads on play store, #1 on ios app store, etc.
- j16sdiz 2y agoRedNote don't have english user interface, and it have worse censorship compare to tiktok or facebook. Unless you want to learn Chinese and/or spend time to navigate around the content modulation system (not very hard, it just different), the experience ain't great.
- tempworkac 2y agoI'm not talking about the quality, I'm saying that red note has been getting a wave of downloads as tiktok gets closer to its imminent ban
- johnisgood 2y agoI think they do have an English user interface since yesterday, which may still be unpolished. TikTok is available in many countries under their own languages though.
- slightwinder 2y agoRednote is a popular meme at the moment for obvious reasons. But TikTok has around 170 Million users in the USA. What you see at the moment is a loud minority checking out the app and creating content. This is something happening all the time with Social Media and especially TikTok, loud minorities doing something, and people hard overrating the numbers. There is simply no way that with Rednotes state at the moment, we will see a significant number of users switching from TikTok to it. Maybe at the end we will see some millions switching.
