Hong Kong CNN —

Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu, also known as RedNote, has been hiring for a surprising position in recent days: English-language content moderators.

That’s because a growing number of US users are creating new accounts there, driven in large part by a looming ban on TikTok, which is due to take effect Sunday.

The sudden influx of overseas users, many of whom call themselves “TikTok refugees,” is posing a new challenge for the app, which must now strike a balance between satisfying China’s stringent content moderation rules while also providing a positive experience for its non-Chinese-speaking newbies.

Many are having a good time. Heather Roberts, an American artist with more than 32,000 followers on TikTok and a new account on RedNote, said she enjoyed using the Chinese app because “everyone is being so nice, so kind.”

“We’re finding that the Chinese people are not so different from us,” she told CNN. “This is really bringing us together. It’s a beautiful thing – it really is.”

But for an increasing number of American users, the honeymoon has been short-lived.

    One American user on RedNote, who identified themselves as 'non-binary,' was censored after publishing a post on Tuesday asking if the platform welcomed gay people.

    Meanwhile they phrased it like this:

    Show

    And then posting My Hero Academia lol

    Such a cherrypicked example. Meanwhile "cisgender" on Twitter:

    (Wait, why is 'non-binary' in quotes?)

      asking if the platform welcomed gay people.

      No, they asked if it's true that RedNote doesn't like gay people, which is far more accusatory.

        Yeah, that's what I tried to show in the image, which comes from the article itself. Should have made it more clear.
