What happened to migrating to Rednote?
same thing that happened to migrating to mastodon/bluesky/threads - it sucks and it's not the same
I liked Rednote better than TikTok while I used it. I liked actually being able to browse videos instead of being forced to infinity scroll. But I dropped off of both well before the ownership changes.
i migrated to Mastodon way before the "big" migration because the experience is just genuinely better. same for Reddit->Hexbear
For me Mastodon is really more a migration from the blogosphere. Many of the blog I followed 10-15 years ago are on Mastodon but now you can talk to the bloggers in a more convenient way than comment sections. And you can follow that people from the comment sections too to see what they are up to.
Never liked Twitter much.
Rednote is fun. It's wildly more left leaning than alternatives which is honestly nice.
It's a great app to make some Chinese penpals.
But for me the reason to be on (western) social media was always to engage with western political discourse which is obviously not as predominant on the Chinese app.
Yeah when I briefly used it it felt very homey - connected with birders from China, South America, and Africa - and how cool we thought each others birds are
That's very cute
Legit felt like the first time I’d actually experienced the potential of the internet lol. Nerding out that we’d all seem the same species - harlequin duck. The one by me was really blown far south from its usual range, the other in northern china, and the other in southern Chile.
Thanks al gore for making this experience possible
Some of us are here :)
Nice!
I don’t really get xhs. I’ve followed friends so I see their content sometimes, and a handful of Chinese bands and musicians so I get content specifically related to those (usually just pictures of pretty girls with said musicians), but I feel like the algorithm doesn’t work to diversify my feed with other stuff I might like to see. Just ends up with really bland experience and I’m not sure how to change that.
I've enjoyed my ~year on rednote
Trump “saved” TikTok
probably still happening
