They recently added new translation features. I don't think it's going to happen.

"May" is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that title.

So, I cannot inform the Chinese about Mao murdering over 70 million people who disagreed with him and his CCP thugs. What about the Tiananmen Square massacre?

I mean they added a translate button in the last day or two, so I infer that at least the people running the site are OK with encouraging the sudden American popularity.

Obviously take this with a grain of salt but a spokesperson of China already said they approve of this cultural exchange.

Remember Rednote is approved by the CCP so there was already propaganda on the app and they are using this time to piss off Americans about some of our poor policy choices. Obviously there is not much negative stuff of China on the app.

Ashley Belanger May Be Embezzling Money From Ars Technica

Just a few days after writing an article on Ars Technica about the possibility of foreign users on RedNote being walled off from Chinese users, rumors began swirling on Lemmy that she may soon decide to defraud her employer by transferring company money into her personal bank account.

😝

Most of my lab mates are Chinese and I joined WeChat because it was what they all used. Everything was fine except my account kept getting banned for no reason. I had assumed it might be because I accidentally turned on a VPN, but ultimately I concluded it was because they didn’t want the intermingling of Chinese and American accounts, which was literally the only reason I was there in the first place.

I don't even like TikTok but I'm so happy with how hard this whole thing is backfiring. Warms my heart

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Tom cotton already made threats about banning rednote as well 😂

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That’s fair. Our own platforms are flooded with government astroturfers. They wouldn’t want those leaking in.

Nobody should be surprised by this.
