      “I’m sick of apps owned by American oligarchs who want to steal my data! This app owned by Chinese oligarchs will surely be a better experience”

          Based on what? It’s not like you can immediately notice if your data is being stolen.

            Based on the interaction with the app. The features are extensive. There’s no ads. My data has most likely been leaked by American companies anyways, so what’s the big deal?

              The thread was about Global Switch Day, whose purpose is to leave proprietary social media for ones that won’t sell your data or get enshittified. So Rednote being proprietary already makes it irrelevant to the discussion.

              Even if it actually was better than mainstream social media at the moment, it would still be at the same risk of being enshittified due to that. It’s just a bandaid solution, like people leaving Twitter for Bluesky.

              And besides that, most sources I found say Rednote does have ads.
