MODERATORS
In a separate post, a male user expressed frustration after RedNote censored a photo of his upper body. “Why can’t I post photos of my fitness and abs?” he asked, adding he had “never had such a problem on TikTok and Instagram.”
A Chinese user suggested that he try covering his nipples, as Chinese social media platforms generally impose restrictions on displaying them when it is perceived as sexually suggestive.
Oof ouch my male privilege
Meh, that's just a cultural difference
Oof I’m glad to see we are learning the right lessons from this.
Sure, the problem is, that male nipples are allowed in the West, not the other way round...
Equality is equality 🤷🏻♂️
Either we ban male nipples or let female nipples fly. Both would then be equal. One way would just be more fun than the other.
I for one fully support women nipples flying.

Goes to an app made by the CCP and gets censorship. Who saw that one coming? /s
surprised pikachu face
Really because I’m also seeing that LGBTQIA+ posting on rednote is accepted so which is it guys? Let’s find out
They're scrambling to hire more mods, especially for english rn, so I wouldn't pass judgement yet

I smell the same flavour of bullshit about RedNote that I do/did about Bluesky. The articles are so obviously Astro turfing.
Twitter and all its alternatives always tend to get inflated coverage because twitter was essentially the journalists' app, so they write about it more. Bluesky was the first "real" alternative I guess.
Bluesky is "fine" if what you want is Twitter without [as much] fascism. It's a better user experience than Mastodon. The average user doesn't care about federation and all the rough edges where you have to understand technical details in order to understand what's going on is frustrating for them.
I hope Mastodon learns some lessons from Bluesky (curated follow/block lists, and curated feed algorithms) but I still hope federation is the future. Bluesky will eventually enshittify because it has financial backers who want a return and could give a fuck about uses or ethics. But for the time being it's a good platform, and perhaps more importantly the best shot at breaking Twitter, and I will strategically support it while it remains a good alternative.
Rednote I have no idea about. Not happy about Chinese propaganda and censorship, but not any happier about right-wing American propaganda and censorship, so fuck it. I haven't made an account yet but I might at some point. TikTok was by far the best algorithm at delivering what I want to see in the moment, and as I only spent a handful of minutes a day on TikTok on average, that's really valuable.
Insta is useless as you seem to have to curate your feed to only be a single thing. Plus, fuck Meta in the ear. So if Rednote gets the content creators and the algorithm, I'll probably check it out eventually.
