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.

It took roughly 3 minutes of scrolling before I got a socialist art account ran by an account with a Stalin pfp. I felt right at home

It's like reassuring to know that China behind the USA censorship are dirtbag shitposters like the rest of us.

lmao

RedNote, or Xiaohongshu as it's known in China, is the number one free app on the Apple app store as of Monday, followed by TikTok's photo-sharing Lemon8 app and OpenAI's ChatGPT.

When I checked earlier number 3 was an app for tracking the wildfires in California 💀

Imagine people downloading chatgpt to translate rednote (what I am doing rn)

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

your phone should have a translate screen function. it should be more convenient to use than copy and pasting into chatgpt

Unintended consequences lmao.

Using this opportunity that we are having an agitprop contest here on Hexbear! Whatever leftist/hexbear related post a Hexbear user makes on Xiaohongshu and accumulates the most interactions will be featured in the agitprop community on the 19th (day TikTok is set to be banned in the US)

More details here!

At this point, the great firewall is protecting the anglosphere internet from a flood of people who would make it unusable to the anglos by being correct and not believing in insane conspiracy theories

Soviet propaganda poster [Unbreakable World Vanguard! 】 “The Unbreakable Vanguard of the World!”, Soviet propaganda poster, 1950

some wishful bloomer-posting: the final Blowback season will be about the tik-tok ban, including it's lead up and the U.S. escalation with China.

it won't be as grim as the others, more light hearted and internet-brained. but for the final closing season it will be appropriate. it will close the entire book of a series that is basically about the consequences of the U.S. war on communism.

The first positive feel-good ep of Blowback, for it tells the story of the U.S. anti-communist op that actually blows back on capitalism and U.S. empire itself

The refugee shit is a little cring, but the genuine conversations are very cool. The political/historical posting is extremely good, I didn’t realize they were still doing Polandball though

[–] Inui@hexbear.net 36 points 1 day ago

The "Usian and their Chinese spy meeting each other" memes are so funny. I've had an account for a while but dont usually use video-based social media. This is too good to miss though.

Can I use it on a desktop browser? I was trying to load it, but I couldn't get it to either show in English or translate correctly. I didn't see a login/signup button either, are those mobile only?
