"My account got banned after just 3 days?" That's what Sarah, a former TikTok creator with 50K followers, found out when she tried to log into her REDnote account this morning. She's not alone. A growing number of TikTok refugees are facing account bans on REDnote, and you could be next.
The Hard Truth About Content That Gets You Banned
1. NSFW Content Is a Big No-No
Remember that spicy dance video that got you 1M views on TikTok? On REDnote, it's a one-way ticket to ban-town. Here's what's getting creators banned:
- Revealing outfits showing too much skin
- Suggestive dancing or poses
- Content with adult themes
- Even slightly risqué thumbnails
2. Weapons = Instant Ban
Think that cool hunting rifle collection video would make great content? Think again. REDnote's stance on weapons is crystal clear:
- No firearms content, period
- No weapon demonstrations
- No hunting footage
- Even airsoft guns can trigger bans
3. Political Content Is Playing With Fire
Got strong political views? Keep them to yourself on REDnote. Users are getting banned for:
- Direct criticism of governments
- Political activism content
- Controversial political discussions
- Content about sensitive political topics
Why This Matters NOW
The recent influx of TikTok refugees has put REDnote's content moderation on high alert. Their AI systems are working overtime, and they're not taking any chances. What might have slipped through on TikTok won't fly here.
The Numbers Don't Lie
- 73% of banned accounts posted content that violated community guidelines in their first week
- 89% of bans are permanent with no appeal process
- It takes just 1 serious violation to lose your account forever
