How does it differ culturally from here? Should I avoid some things or are there Chinese social media norms I should be aware of?

    It's pretty vanilla tbh, but there is some commie stuff you can find pretty easily. It's a lot of normal cute stuff and hobby stuff though.

    Its all been pretty friendly and wholesome. Translating your posts and comments into Chinese also is a good idea. The app doesn't have a translate feature.

        I know nothing about it. The explantation I saw was that they clowned on things like unit 731 and the war crimes in Nanking in a way that was disrespectful of the history. (I have no idea what the content is but) it's perceived as nasty Japanese imperialism to them, so posting about it makes you look like a Nazi.

        Americans/Euros keep posting about it and getting flagellated, but it could be because the moderation team is swamped rn

            The actual ban isn’t for TikTok. It’s for any foreign adversary app over a certain size.

            The law, called the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, wouldn’t only impact TikTok. Any app with ties to what the United States government designates as a foreign adversary, like China, could effectively be banned, including both RedNote and Lemon8, alongside other apps, like ByteDance’s video editing app CapCut

              Then everyone's getting together to make a very brief poignant point. "Oh you can only use our private media" fuck you suckerberg
