On the heels of TikTok's looming shut down 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.
Tried making a WeChat account, but my account was immediately temporarily banned likely because my phone is rooted and I downloaded the app from the Aurora Store. Oops. I guess if I want to use WeChat at some point, I will need to get a separate phone.
Doesn’t let me sign up using my phone number and I refuse to use Google :/
it took me a couple days to get it to send me the phone code but it eventually did.
I get the code almost immediately but it just doesn’t work when I paste it in the app :/
Edit: The issue seems to be that I’m using GeapheneOS.
Can you get WeChat?
Just tried that but apparently WeChat needs me to “verify” myself by entering my credit card info. hell nah
Sorry comrade, nobody gets to be unaccountable on Chinese social media.
