        Another Bytedance-owned app. It’s just a TikTok clone and they’re running ads on TikTok to get people to move to RedNote LOL

        I think that’s the point… Its a protest, and RedNote doesn’t even pretend that it isn’t a part of the CCP. The tiktok users know this, they are just trying to give the biggest middle finger they can.

        Sure, which is why installing it is largely a protest. I don’t think US tiktokkers are going to seriously learn pinyin so they can properly tag their post.

          Protests are supposed to inconvenience the institution and other people not involved in the situation so that they empathize and push for change. This isn’t a particularly good protest if it’s not doing those things. It doesn’t seem to be inconveniencing the supreme Court, the federal government, or people who don’t use tik tok so …
