What is RedNote? The TikTok alternative that doesn't allow showing skin or LGBTQ+ content (www.advocate.com)

TikTok refugees have already noted harsh restrictions on RedNote that have resulted in their content being removed or their accounts being suspended, including for mentioning LGBTQ+ identities or for women, wearing a slightly low-cut top.

Why is this the exact opposite of what I've been reading Lemmy users say about their experience? Especially the LGBTQ experience?

I think they're going to relax a lot of the rules just like TikTok did.

It's just happened so fast they couldn't adjust in time.

Give it a week or two and they'll completely separate the US and Chinese userbases, with different standards for each.

This app was never meant for the non-chinese audience. If they want to make a foreign alternative they'd have to segregate it like TikTok vs Douyin and ban the foreign version in the mainland. If that's the case the nice cultrual exchange moments wouldn't happen anymore.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying...

They're going to pick money over morals and split.
