If you need help spotting a toxic, gaslighting relationship, TikTok has you covered: lies, silence, behavior shifts, and crap communication. 180M Americans: don’t take back that looser boyfriend who stormed out last night. You deserve way better.

I see TikTok more like a medium toxic relationship who has been going through a shakedown from the local mob boss, but although I’m not on the lease I haven’t really figured out my next moves, so it will do for now.
I deleted the app last night and admittedly I am having some anxiety that I am "missing something". Am I? Maybe. The anxiety signals to me that I need a break.
Already the content you as Americans can see on tiktok, is restricted. Apparently if you search 'Donald Trumo rigged the election' as an American, you get no search results, but of course, that's not the case outside America. Welcome to your new normal.
I deleted my account and when prompted to explain why, I selected “other reason” and typed “being played” into the box. I felt so free to let it all go.
Weird over there. I use it for both content & commerce. Content is getting flagged. I’m not controversial🤷♀️. Meanwhile, my top selling item is “on Tyranny.” It tracks.
Why are so many people going back? The whole vibe is off and I truly believe it will become state run media. It will be just as unsafe as any Meta product. I'm so disappointed. I can't unknow what I've already seen.
I was explaining to someone else that I spent an inordinant amount of time crying when browsing RN because people were so kind and comforting and I realized how starved I was for just some kind words
The people I feel bad for are those whose livelihood came from TikTok. I’m sure they’re afraid to leave it. But I just can’t go back after what they did and how they did it. It was all a stunt to make us sad so we would praise them for bringing back our toy. And now TikTok is in bed with Donny. 👎🏻
Today is ÐELETEÐAY!!!
I trashed Meta, Prime, TikTok(after todays BS), Paypal(futhiel) and the amount of notifications I got from the unsubscribing/autopaying was EPIC
If EVERYONE does it - THEY WILL KNOW

I'm working on deleting my account. Yes, TikTok is making me work to do it! Maybe it will be like canceling a dating app, tomorrow I'll have 1000 new followers?
One of your posts before they pulled the plug you discussed silence and/or capitulation of the larger content creators about this whole thing. I’ll admit I went on this morning heard it was “back” cause I was curious & wow did some of those folks tell on themselves with their first posts. Deleted
I’m curious to know more. I got on and went to see what Underthedesknews and AOC had posted today, I guess I don’t know who qualifies as a larger content creator.
TikTok shutting off ahead of the 19th made sense to me at the time in a “taking the most precautions not to get retroactively fined in the future” way. I had mad respect for ByteDance for not selling. But the “President Trump” capitulation is WEIRD in the midst of incoming tariffs against China.
I deleted mine this morning and I'm not going back. TT had a choice to not capitulate and bend the knee to that idiot. They didn't need the US market but they bent over anyway. I'm done giving my money to anything that supports Dumpy, Elonia, Suckerberg and Bezos the Bozo.
Anyone going back to TT better never ask a DV victim why they didn't just leave, ever again. Your narcissistic ex just gaslit you into going back to an app for money and views. How is that any different from the Congressmen who took bribes in the form of Meta stock to ban it in the first place?
Have you ever experienced the series of feelings when you go through a breakup, and then your ex sleeps with another person, and then wants you back? Ya, I feel that kind of ick about tiktok now.
I went back, but only in a half ass, dipping a toe in the water kind of way. I don't trust it. But something is wrong & right now I'm looking at everything everywhere but meta to figure it out
Just finishing my follow list and will be poised to delete mine tomorrow! I just hope the captions on YouTube are as good /better than TikTok. Can’t hear without my captions.
TikTok looks super weird today some of those who are speaking about what is going on or how to suppress today the like buttons the heart buttons those are gone and you can only watch the video and then it cut you off. What is going on??
Yeah, I'm not going back. I invested way too much time and effort into it the first time only to watch them sell out at the end of the day. And if I'm being honest, even before it became a political issue, their support for smaller users was garbage.
Every comment I’ve made disparaging Trump or everyone that voted for the ban has been deleted for “violating community guidelines”. This is no longer our TikTok.
I'm not going back. I know manipulation when I see it. I hope they lose so much money. Something else will come along, and now that we have gotten a taste of what tjat kind of social media can be like, we won't be falling for the games anymore.

Where else would I get my cat boy videos?
I’m glad you are here because I enjoyed your content on the tok and I’m definitely not going back to that toxic.
Sincerely,

I learned A LOT of of TT and look forward to the next venture reconnect on with videos.
Hoping that those who left jobs to monetize on the platform bounce back.
