I want to learn Chinese by talking to China's locals. How do I do that online/elsewhere? I tried Red Note, but deleted it because TikTok-like platforms are super bad for me.

Seconding hellotalk. I made friends there then if I found someone who was cool to talk to, I added them on WeChat and just chatted there

Same. I kind of hate the UI of HelloTalk so I ended up switching to WeChat when I had found people I liked chatting to; but other than my gripes with the UI (and of course privacy-related issues) I quite like the app. Also fun fact the app admins once told me to change my pfp because it had a flag in it lol.
