So, I tried using the Chinese social media app Rednote (小纒书), thinking it was open to all. That is definitely not the case. My account got shadowbanned after about a week of activity, and after back-and-forth with customer service, they said my account was flagged as a "security risk" and could do nothing about it. I'm genuinely at a loss for what constitutes a security risk according to their poorly designed algorithms, but if they just don't like foreigners then why is registration open? It's a useful demonstration of why the Fediverse is so important, though.

We travel not for trafficking alone; / By hotter winds our fiery hearts are fanned: / For lust of knowing what should not be known / We take the Golden Road to #Samarkand.
