Xiaohongshu Princesses

I just said a permanent goodbye by deleting xiaohongshu to xiaohongshu. The app was so toxic. It had the most based nativists and racist people on there posting stuff that’s super based and debased. The app was a perfect vehicle to make people commit suicide. It didn’t change its algorithm at all even after I actively searched the app. It even had people who were exactly like them from my old social circles in their AI search. It banned my usage on there like what instagram did pretending it’s because of my screenshots when it clearly was harassment. In 2023 or 2024 I saw a piece of news about xiaohongshu vs. the TikTok lawsuit on the New York Times. TikTok was lucky enough to get bought by American investors. Not xiaohongshu that much. Have to say sorry not sorry. This is just what a copycat app like xiaohongshu got at the end of day. I went on there to see who was posting and using it everyday. And here we go and get my answers. Etc.
