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?
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
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
