Lots of bangers. Uplifting clips of kids seeing through American propaganda, and genuinely heartwarming moments of cross-cultural learning. sicko-wholesome

You guys gotta stop calling it RedNote, okay? If we’re doing this even partially as an F U to our own US government, you’ve got to start calling it Little Red Book or just RedBook!

    god damn I cannot stand and will never get behind the trend of “video player but with tons of annoying shit on the screen and somehow also barely any user controls”

    I’m just being a curmudgeon though, I’m glad people are having fun with this silliness

        it’s funny, Redbook’s interface is clearly a carbon-copy of TikTok’s (which IIRC was a carbon copy of Vine’s) but the ads are all “inline” so they don’t “pop up” they kinda disguise themselves as regular videos and “play next”.

      When you realize that you can do a “zoom in” and that makes all of the HUD elements disappear it really improves the experience.
