Not at all. There are hundreds of thousands of US users. Most of the content I see is localized and tailored for English. There’s even an auto translate feature. They’re very welcoming and nice, and encourage us to post. Most of them are just showing their houses and what it’s like to live in China.
It was a pleasant surprise. That said, I’m not too interested in endless house tours, so I’m going to see what kind of content there is when things settle down. That’s still a migration though, at least for me.

- dkjaudyeqooe 2y agoIt's meant as a joke of sorts, not a migration. From the NYT: "Sure, there are the people calling themselves “TikTok refugees” and joining Xiaohongshu, a Chinese social media app, as a half-joking protest of the U.S. government’s decision to ban TikTok on national security grounds. (The joke part is: OK, Congress, you want to stop us from using a sketchy Chinese social media app? We’ll download an even sketchier Chinese social media app and use that instead.)" https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/technology/what-if-no-one-misses-tiktok.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/technology/what-if-no-one... https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/arts/tiktok-red-note-china.html https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/arts/tiktok-red-note-chin...
