As the redditors pissed about this love to cite... It's the Streisand Effect.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 53 points 1 day ago

Redditors are pissed about this? Oh god I need to see this, I need to taste their tears.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 50 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I finally started getting my verification codes. Like, hours later. It's an improvement.

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

maybe the servers will recover and it'll work again

Mark my words, if the Supreme Court finds out about this, they're overturning the Tiktok ban immediately.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I downloaded the app but the UI is in Chinese

Most Americans will just go to instagram/facebook/twitter unfortunately

The great Satan won this round I’m afraid. Still though, I’m really curious to see some metrics (if those are even available anywhere)

Found something a bit weird, on profiles it looks like it shows users’ “IP Address”? But also that’s not long enough to be an IP address, and it’s not even made up of numbers? Can someone who knows Chinese clarify what this is?

[–] ProletarianDictator@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It says Beijing. Probably just the geolocation of the IP address.

A lot of the TikTok people are moving with the assumption that their privacy and data are cooked regardless of platform, and are choosing to spite America/us corps. Not the average hexbear poster

I just assume that if I need to get a non-Christian abortion or not be racist, facebook already has an automated firehose for snitching my location and degree of thoughtcrime straight to the Schutzstaffel dispatch, merely waiting for President Musk to activate the autobot matrix of fascism, Chinese companies probably at least have a few hours delay due multilayered pipelines between shell corporations to bypass santactions.

that says "Beijing" so I'm assuming it's saying the IP is from beijing.

I tried to make an account months ago to practice Chinese, but it didn't work because of the verification texts. Let me know if someone has strats to make it more likely to go thru.

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 1 day ago

It came through instantly for me, maybe because I've done it when yanks were eepy

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

I just tried every hour or so and eventually got one

us is banning tiktok so people are migrating to 小红书 which is a chinese social media. chinese and american netizens are interacting so much, it's incredible

[–] Florn@hexbear.net 39 points 1 day ago (1 children)

TinkTonk banned, users decided to use Chinese insta instead

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 34 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Lmao based.

It would be very funny if the US had to ban RedNote too

If this law is upheld and TikTok is banned, they can use it to ban Xiǎohóngshū. But that’ll take years, it’s not like it happens automatically.

[–] Imnecomrade@hexbear.net 35 points 1 day ago

In two years when the law catches up, by then it will be too late. 🤞

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago

i can't help because the verification doesn't wori for me, but it's really cool to see

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Is there a trick to creating an account? I get errors whichever means of verification I try.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago

Servers are slammed. It might be a bit

[–] blakeus12@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

i used wechat personally

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

ironically enough, i used google account to do first time login

i might have to clear that and use normal methods if i'm gonna shitpost though, real name on account is a bit of an oof

[–] coolusername@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

i just used my work wechat account
