So in an attempt to thwart imagined Chinese propaganda, USians have pushed their user base into actual Chinese platforms. If even a portion of those users come to the realization that China are not evil harry potter villains, it would be a net win.
I would say it is one of the US's bigger own-goals, but they have had so many.
Absolutely, there are now millions of Americans who are pissed off about TikTok ban who are now swimming in Communist media.

I just downloaded it today. I’m not American so the ban doesn’t effect me (yet, I wouldn’t be surprised if Canada follows suite) but I follow some awesome American creators and dont want to lose access to them so I followed them to Red Note.

So what is that app? Tiktok clone? Cause it's not douyin right?
It's Chinese Instagram, much better than BS Meta product.
LOL
It's making me sign up with either a phone number or a Google account ):
And you need to attach a phone number to comment anything. Are there any issues with using one of those temporary fake phone number generators?

That's so out of the blue? Is there any particular reason why the app got viral in the US?
TikTok is getting banned in the US so a bunch of users are going to Xiaohongshu instead. It’s basically to spite the American government.
No idea what made it go viral. That said, I just signed up and I'm digging it, this was literally the first thing in my feed
This is the first thing I see opening the app
Damn, I was browsing Hexbear and I'm tempted to install the app now. I'm kinda expecting for it to be a huge time sink considering how much I use Lemmy and Telegram on my phone lmao

America is so free its people are leaving this freedom for "eVil Gommunism"
Despite their best efforts to paint China as the ultimate evil, people are still lining up to try their products. I feel like that says something.
