U.S. TikTokers flock to Xiaohongshu, baffling and bonding with Chinese users. (restofworld.org)

Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.

Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.

The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

I've seen a bunch of companies claiming us users are flocking to them. I guess we shall see where users end up

Yeah, this honestly sounds like a press release with made up "users". Definitely part of a marketing campaign.

Dumbest shit ever. let me run to the PRC for my entertainment. Like was TikTok really that good? I never used it, other than the time long ago when it was first getting traction and my coworker asked me to get into her 12 yr old daughter's account (super easy BTW) and see what she was doing on there. surprise! nothing but 30 year old men following her and watching her doing dances. I never touched it since.

Replacing one Chinese Spyware app with another. Lmao, it's just so funny to me.

[–] aarRJaay@lemm.ee 35 points 3 days ago (26 children)

Because an American Spyware app is much better?

Both seem shit to me
