It's funny that Xiaohongshu is popping off right on the cusp of a TikTok ban. They're not even flocking to established US alternatives.
The fact that Xiaohongshu is Chinese is the point, it's a protest against banning Chinese Social Media without holding US-based Social Media to the same standard.
It started from an American user on tik tok saying "we should go to a Chinese app like red book" it's a meme that went wild
its likely that tiktok users already had accs on US alternatives.
I've been saying it, but I think there's also a factor that people simply want somewhere new to go. I can't think of a time when people went back to an older platform while abandoning a newer one.
