Everyone just shows up in the same feed. USians are making posts in English alongside all the posts in Chinese. I've seen Chinese users making jokes like "Give me your data!" or "Welcome, I'm your new Chinese spy". I saw one comment on a post that read, "They better start posting in English soon." which, was getting heavily flamed. Lots of Luigi posting, it would seem. I also keep getting Chinese accounts posting a lot of really cool Socialist Realism art/propaganda posters, old and new. Lots of cringe USians making posts about being "refugees" on the app.

i haven't used 小红书 in a few years but i can imagine the average user being really tired of this sudden invasion of USians. imagine trying to use your normal social media app that you use for normal shit and suddenly it's full of clueless anglos posting bullshit in their bullshit language and refusing to use your language, and a normal post about normal shit suddenly has 25 comments like "huh what's this lol" "i don't speak thingumajig, speak american lol" "haha your chinese dances are funny lol" "wooow i wanna eat chinese noodles, i love pad thai"

i get that exposing anglos to normal shit outside of iowa is enriching and good for the low percentage of people that are actually curious and willing to learn but damn, can't imagine being a normal user on the normal app right now

i guess it'll blow over very soon

Chinese people on average are actually very very welcoming to foreigners. on my feed there was a white guy just asking about what Chinese ppl put in their hot pot and it was all very wholesome.
