RedNote Urgently Hiring English Content Moderators as TikTok Refugees Flood In

48 Hours and Counting: Your Post is Still "Under Review"

"What's happening? It's been two days and my post is still under review!"

This frustrated cry echoes across RedNote as thousands of former TikTok users face an unexpected reality: Chinese content moderation.

According to Reuters, RedNote gained over 700,000 new users in just the past few days. Sensor Tower reports a staggering 194% increase in US downloads compared to last week.

But there's a catch.

The Great Content Wall: Why Your Posts Keep Disappearing

Even a simple selfie with English captions can vanish.

Users report posts being removed for "unclear language" or "potentially causing negative experiences" - even when simply answering questions about American life.

One user's innocent question about US salaries? Deleted. A casual mirror selfie with English text? Gone. A harmless lifestyle vlog? "Under 48-hour review."

Behind the Scenes: RedNote's Emergency Response

Sources reveal RedNote is now urgently recruiting English-speaking content moderators.

Why? Because their current moderation system wasn't built for this sudden influx of English content.

The platform's strict Chinese content guidelines are clashing with Western posting habits. And it's creating a moderation nightmare.

What TikTok Refugees Need to Know

Expect longer review times (up to 48 hours)
English posts face extra scrutiny
Content guidelines are stricter than TikTok
Even innocent posts may get flagged

The Numbers Don't Lie

700,000+ new users in 48 hours
194% increase in US downloads
48-hour average review time
Countless frustrated posts about moderation

What's Next for RedNote?

As January 19th approaches - TikTok's potential US ban date - RedNote faces a critical challenge:

Balance Chinese content regulations with Western user expectations.

Will the platform successfully bridge this cultural gap? Only time will tell.

But one thing's clear: If you're a TikTok refugee considering RedNote, prepare for a very different content moderation experience.

The Bottom Line

RedNote's urgent hunt for English content moderators reveals a bigger truth: The platform wasn't ready for this Western user surge.

As millions of TikTok users seek a new home, RedNote's strict content policies might just determine whether they stay or keep searching.
