小红书(Xiaohongshu) is just a closed social media platform, no different from Twitter today. It cannot even be searched using traditional search engines such as Baidu (China's Google equivalent) to retrieve its content. It also lacks the strong interoperability and protocol-level openness of platforms like Fediverse and Nostr (just as Twitter and Reddit are becoming less open today). Since its inception, Xiaohongshu has never intended to easily share its internal user data with others. This user data is its most valuable asset, known as "私域流量(private domain traffic)".
Its success in China is undeniable. Even if Chinese young people do not use Xiaohongshu, they know what it is because it is as popular in China as TikTok, Reddit and Twitter. Of course, the Little Red Book is criticised by just as many people for being "brainwashing", in the same way that most people treat TikTok, depending on how you use it.
By the way, Chinese young people don't like 微信(WeChat). Most young people only use it because they "have to", as because it's everywhere in real life, whether it's for socialising or mobile payments. Just because they don't have a choice doesn't mean they like it.
and plus, Xiaohongshu has a similar growth path as nostr initially as a beauty enthusiasm circle, gradually every young girl and many boys log in to search everything in daily lives and most probably they'll get the right answers.
which echoes jack's point that it's ok for nostr to be Bitcoin echo chamber and all we need is focus on the UX and make it accessible to massive mobile users who know nothing about technical aspects. https://i.nostrimg.com/6887624b385b42ceaca3194242fca1cf8dace16f05509d17a323475a09d09e10/file.jpeg
Xiaohongshu （小红书）is an illiterate group of users.
WeChat is used by all Chinese people. Have their own characteristics.
But WeChat is still a bit more powerful. objective comment.
stop replying to me please...your words are with high entropy and pre-set world views which looks hard to calibrate
I just discuss Chinese social software objectively, fairly, and openly.
I don't have a preference for any product,
I just tell the truth.
A few Chinese people know Xiaohongshu,（小红书）but at least 1 billion people know WeChat.
This is a fact.
What made you have the hallucination that "Xiaohongshu users are all illiterate"? Have you personally used it? Why do you compare WeChat and Xiaohongshu? They are completely different products, targeting different user groups. If you think WeChat has only developed to its current state through mobile payments alone, then you are completely mistaken.
I suggest that you abandon your belief in WeChat and instead listen to the thoughts of young people in China. Young individuals tend to dislike clichés and platitudes.
I can tell you if you are doing the promotion work of "Little Red Book".
Every software in China has "backdoors".
The National Security Bureau of CCP must censor the content of speech.
The same is true for Xiaohongshu. This kind of product has no room to survive in China.
You're actually the one shifting the topic. It seems like you enjoy arrogantly expressing political views and ideologies. If that's how you treat others, then I'm sorry. Goodbye! 👋
PS: Stop fxxking replying to me, I feel disgusted.
In China, I would never pay attention to people like you.
Ahh, there's that charming Chinese culture
Xiaohongshu is also a rubbish product like TikTok. There's no point in your defense. Not many people use it.
I said WeChat relies on WeChat Pay to make money. I didn’t say WeChat is just a mobile payment method. WeChat is a mobile tool used by Chinese government agencies to monitor Chinese people.
WeChat can bind social security cards and medical insurance cards. Little Red Book doesn’t work.
Xiaohongshu does not have any advantageous products.
What do you think is the difference between Xiaohongshu and TikTok?
WeChat is headquartered in Guangzhou. WeChat also enhances Guangzhou’s influence in the international community. Many foreign-funded enterprises are headquartered in Guangzhou.
I heard that Xiaohongshu (小红书）is used by rural people. No one in the city uses Little Red Book.（小红书）
Rural people don’t have much entertainment.
that group of users will be worthless.😝
WeChat’s product design is simple and easy to use.
Only Twitter can compete with WeChat.
A good product is simple.
Now, it’s lunch time in China, and WeChat payment is earning fees every second. Pretty good way to pay compound interest.
