An unprecedented level of Americans are about to witness the power of Chinese posting. The Great Firewall was not to protect Chinese people from the rest of the world. It was to protect the rest of the world from Chinese posters.

If USians use Rednote, will they be interacting directly with Chinese users?
I don't know anything about these apps.
Yes, precisely. I haven’t figured out the doge meme because it usually denotes sarcasm, but this seems nice
Hell yeah. Can we organize a group of Hexbears to meet on the other side?
I can't wait to be unironically called a lib by Chinese comrades.
in the modchat someone mention making an official hexbear account and just reposting the popular posts from here to there
That's awesome.
That'd be a great idea
It's not a particularly political sort of place. It's a lot of aesthetic and educational posts so far. I'm picking up a lot of chinese cultural things there, but no politics beyond the occasional trump meme.
But that may just be my page, or maybe there are more untranslated spoken videos that have that
No you’re correct. “History/current events” eg Ukraine war and ww2 content abounds, but the original users specifically recommend not talking about politics (outside of upholding the one China policy ofc)
Are Americans capable of not talking about politics? I guess the MAGA chuds probably won't be joining a Chinese app so that probably helps.
So far, not really. We’ll see how that turns out. Although a surprising proportion of maga gunfuckers have signed up
CHYNER BAD BUT ALSO TICTAK USERS ARE JOINING A CHYNA APP. I MUST JOIN TOO
I made an account and posted a picture of one of my cats and a Chinese user has already sent me a picture of a receipt telling me I have paid entry to the app via cat pic. I really do hope westerners stay, listen, and learn from our comrades on the other side of the world.
Imagine millions of dedicated Chinese communists suddenly being able to interact with the western English speaking internet. Vibes of Hexbear federating writ large
We're witnessing cooking at rates scientists thought were impossible.

The Chinese text on the bottom says this user posted from Germ*ny

Ok so we're not in the Star Trek universe, or it's Mirror Universe.
