I think we'd all be wise to give UpScrolled time to respond. Given that it's a privately-owned startup that's positioned in opposition to the establishment, it's naturally going to be logistically sluggish - especially when it comes to vetting new content moderators. If I was in CIA management I'd be throwing plants at those mod applications to get as many as I can on board, and it'd be a nothing burger on my budget to do that.

Having said that, there's no reason to not be on 小红书 as well and supporting the cultural exchange there. App participation isn't a mutually exclusive choice.
