FOSSCAD Expands to Rednote: CCP in Shambles

Americans Are Posting 3D-Printed Gun Videos to China’s RedNote With Surprising Success

In a surprising turn of events, Americans have begun posting videos of 3D-printed guns on the Chinese social media app RedNote. This coordinated effort is partly a response to the impending TikTok ban in the U.S., and it aims to teach Chinese users how to build unserialized "ghost guns." These firearms are legal gray areas in the U.S. but are illegal in China due to the country's strict gun control policies.

Despite the stringent regulations, the videos have gained significant traction on RedNote, with minimal moderation issues compared to TikTok. The FOSSCAD community, known for its dedication to 3D-printed guns and related topics, is behind this movement. By expanding their presence to RedNote, they hope to spread information about home gunsmithing and challenge the Chinese government's control over firearm ownership.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) enforces strict gun control measures to maintain authority and prevent potential threats. The influx of 3D-printed gun videos on RedNote has made the CCP nervous, as it directly challenges their regulations. This move by the FOSSCAD community is seen as a way to push the boundaries of open-source technology and promote decentralization.

As the community expands its presence on RedNote, members are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the platform's features and guidelines. The FOSSCAD subreddit remains active, and the posts to RedNote is seen as an expansion of knowledge sharing. 

Stay tuned for more updates as the FOSSCAD community continues to evolve and grow. Whether you're a long-time member or new to the scene, there's never been a better time to join the conversation and contribute to the future of open-source technology.
