RedNote is a good alternative.
Downvoted by those who can't think for themselves. Go to Reddit if you want neoliberal cultural hegemony.
is rednote an actual alternative for non-chinese?
No, it's not even like Tiktok at all. The vast majority of the content is in Mandarin and if you aren't Chinese your not going to know the asinine culture rules and get banned for something you thought was silly, but they take very seriously.
I haven't been banned yet, but then again I save all my shitposts for the fediverse and stick to book reviews on RedNote.
Same, but it's just because I don't comment or post as I don't speak Mandarin, so the majority of the people wouldn't even know what I am saying. What's the point you know?
I have found a bunch of really cool recipes, man they love their eggs...
Some people provide translated subtitles and the app does have a built in translator function. I found it's enough to converse, but definitely niche.
or for Chinese that don't want to be censored?
Most platforms have some kind of moderation. But I'm sure a Chinese platform will be quite selective about a particular set of topics and themes.
