Most TikTokers flocking to Xiaohongshu have never heard of Chairman Mao’s ‘little red book’

tessakitkat.bsky.social•48 days ago

No, I (as a rednote user) have heard of it. But going there is a form of nonviolent protest for me. I don’t want to be cut off from the world, and banning tiktok for me does essentially that. It was through tiktok I learned more about a LARGE variety of different things. It’s not an echo chamber.

Wrong.

JFC…they just keep proving their ignorance

sammyjoe.bsky.social•48 days ago

So the fact that the FBI has busted China in numerous spyware attacks including listening to cell phone conversations of VP Harris & Trump Americans see them as a valued resource for social media entertainment?? Folks we best wake up STAT

How ridiculous!

davidhcrocker.bsky.social•49 days ago

What? Chairman Mao's "Little Red Book?"

ahutchga.bsky.social•49 days ago

Yep

sfpride.bsky.social•48 days ago

Americans running to embrace China to spite their own country. That’ll really show us. 🤣

“This could be a historic moment,” one Chinese user commented. “It feels like so much has changed in an instant. Ordinary people from our two countries have never really connected before … I hope everyone can take this brief chance to engage in meaningful exchanges of ideas.”

sturtle.bsky.social•49 days ago

Probably named after the song

knittynelly84.bsky.social•49 days ago

I think this speaks to the most American quality of all…
**Pettiness**
💅🏻💅🏻💅🏻
Government doesn’t want our data going to China? Instead Americans and Chinese working class people are going to open up a cultural exchange to the horror of BOTH our governments 🤘🤣

kryspee.bsky.social•48 days ago

agreed Americans have really become kinda stupid over the last 2 decades

knittynelly84.bsky.social•49 days ago

govt: “ We want to protect your personal data!”

Americans: *holds personal data at gunpoint*
“Give us TikTok or the data gets it”

Govt: “bUt YoUr PriVaCy”

Americans: *hand delivers data to Chinese govt*

jackrue.bsky.social•49 days ago

Makes no sense moving from one Chinese app to another Chinese app.

tessakitkat.bsky.social•48 days ago

A majority of the board member of ByteDance (the company which owns tiktok) are American and more than half of it is owned by global investors, not China.

tessakitkat.bsky.social•48 days ago

“60% of ByteDance is owned by global institutional investors such as the Carlyle Group, General Atlantic and Susquehanna International Group, while 20% of the firm is owned by Zhang and 20% owned by employees around the world. Three of the company’s five board members are Americans.”

JFC. Do they not know about the original? 🤯

mondeno.bsky.social•49 days ago

I used to have a copy in college. The Maoists used to chant extracts as a thought substitute! Brainwashed. Hilarious!Not so funny now with Maga and their acolytes doing much the same.

cubtrader.bsky.social•49 days ago

I still have my college copy in a box in our attic. It was for a course on the dangers of propaganda. 😔

China rules! Teens turn into traitors!

vp68.bsky.social•48 days ago

Wow Americans are getting so disappointing

nkeyser.bsky.social•49 days ago

China: *sees people signing up for RedNote* you mean we could have just done this all along ?!?! TikTok wasn’t even needed?

thatlibdude.bsky.social•49 days ago

They demonized Tik-Tok as Chinese spyware because the owner is from Singapore. So the US citizens are downloading a truly Chinese app in protest.

fdvnpatterson.bsky.social•49 days ago

lol why are we flocking to another Chinese app that will get band too?

tessakitkat.bsky.social•48 days ago

It could get banned but it’s also acting for many as a form of nonviolent protest and an act of pettiness over the ban.

opinions-genius.bsky.social•49 days ago

Who cares about privacy when you’re deeply narcissistic?

elizabethcb.bsky.social•48 days ago

Who cares about my data when it’s been sold on the open data market by #meta, #twitter, #reddit, hell probably #slashdot?! I mean. I’ve been on the internet since the 90s.

fickdich.bsky.social•49 days ago

Lol! Yeah take all my privacy and data in exchange for some stupid videos that I forget 5 seconds after watching them.

malmeow5.bsky.social•49 days ago

It’s more so that our govt believes they get to make that choice for us.

thegreentravel.bsky.social•49 days ago

Looks like RedNote is the new flavor of the month among TikTokers! It's fascinating to see how quickly trends can shift in the social media landscape. Wonder how long it'll hold that top spot before the next shiny app comes along.

cocoagodiva.bsky.social•49 days ago

The irony of this is FUNNY

stopthemess.bsky.social•48 days ago

Hm, I guess that didn’t work out like Congress thought. 🤪
