As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

They all made competitors and then kicked tiktok out of the market. They knew it would be used for counter propaganda so they had to make their own slop for deprogramming after they booted tiktok. I am going to miss my communist shortform slop

You definitely shouldn’t create an alternate Google account with the non-US country. That way, it would be trivially easy to switch accounts in the Play Store and download stuff from outside the US store, such as dangerous apps like TikTok.

or use APKMirror (+ Revanced) or download a modded version from Telegram

True. I would recommend the vanilla method to most people though, and it’s the only option for iPhones unless you want to jailbreak.

Alls it takes is one Tik Tok is you’re a liberal commie.

That's what happened to me; I joined tiktok and Lemmy at the same time and I switched from a reddit liberal into a tankie. Lol

Does this work? I moved countries, and my app store still depends on the country associated to my account. I think it has to work this way, or else you could not receive updates while traveling.

I made an alternate account precisely so I could download banking apps that are only on the app store in the country where I live, while maintaining the apps I had from the old country.

IDK may be helpful when creating the alt App Store account...

[–] quarrk@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

I meant the VPN option. The alternate account definitely works; I’ve been using that method for years. I don’t think VPN changes your app store.

I suppose it matters how you consume it; if you use a phone, then you probably need to do that.

Would the aurora store work?
