On the heels of TikTok's looming shutdown on January 19 over its ownership in the U.S. (unless the Supreme Court intervenes), it looks like another American users are flocking to a Chinese app called Xiaohongshu as people become less optimistic that TikTok can overturn U.S. ban.
It’s making me sign up with either a phone number or a Google account ):
And you need to attach a phone number to comment anything. Are there any issues with using one of those temporary fake phone number generators?
It’s just to make an account. It’s not going to actually display your number. Just make a separate Google account and use that.
The Google account seems unnecessary if you’re attaching a number bc you could just sign up using only the number.
Anyway, I think I’m going to stick with the account I made using a dud gmail address and cope with being unable to post or comment anything
ah I already had a wechat account so I signed in with that
That’s not much better because you need either a Facebook account or a phone number (again) for that too ))):
yeah I think I signed up with my phone number originally
