I keep trying just to see if something has changed. It has not

coolbeanzzzz.bsky.social•35 days ago

The urge was strong this morning 😔

zinnamon24.bsky.social•35 days ago

No fr had to move the app in my phone 😭😭😭

littlelea05.bsky.social•35 days ago

I've already failed at that 😭😭

maxarcreads.bsky.social•35 days ago

Ok glad it’s not just me.

beffynicolereads.bsky.social•35 days ago

Move another app there! I put my reading app there and I feel bad if I open it and don't at least read a page.

applesncinnamon.bsky.social•35 days ago

Oh, that’s a genius idea!

amorvincetomnia.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yep. I replaced tiktok with Bluesky and removed tiktok and all the meta apps off my Home Screen.

No more muscle-memory/patterned opening.

babyjasreads.bsky.social•35 days ago

I also replaced bluesky with TikTok. Now I’m opening bluesky thinking I’m going to TikTok 😭😭😭😭

heathersbooks.bsky.social•35 days ago

That’s what I did too

layzeboy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeah, I can't lie. That muscle memory is real especially after being on the app for the last 6 years. BlueSky might just replace that spot on my home screen.

triciahernandez.bsky.social•34 days ago

It’s been difficult but worth it! I’m so happy to see you here.

aussiegirl21.bsky.social•35 days ago

Delete TT and move on. You are being played by the Govt. I would refuse to use it. TT was fun whilst it lasted. Now that is over

smredman.bsky.social•35 days ago

I moved it to a completely different spot on my phone and put red note in its place. Honestly though, the tiktok message about Trump kinda already stopped me from reaching for the app..

socalmom4.bsky.social•35 days ago

Agree, honestly that makes me think it’s already dead.

probablyatdisney.bsky.social•35 days ago

I uninstalled it. The Trump message makes me side eye it.

socalmom4.bsky.social•35 days ago

Agree, it was so disappointing.

n3rd4lif3.bsky.social•35 days ago

Glad to know I'm not alone in my brain retraining today! I keep trying to open it to find out what's going on with Tiktok 😭

samdcote.bsky.social•35 days ago

It’s a struggle 😭

joas-mon.bsky.social•35 days ago

I had to move the app to a folder so I couldn’t see it anymore.😭 I hate seeing the Orange Menace’s name and reliving the TikTok apocalypse.

buildacub2.bsky.social•35 days ago

Already done it once or twice

mommymommom.bsky.social•35 days ago

I already frustrated myself enough and had to move the icon to another page.

begyourpardon.bsky.social•35 days ago

I trained it by deleting it ✨

bkgreshner.bsky.social•34 days ago

Delete the app.

zaonic.bsky.social•35 days ago

I moved it. My social media apps now are bluesky and discord

protanyakateyo.bsky.social•35 days ago

I moved the app off the home screen and filled the spot with the YouTube shortcut. Looks different enough in color that my brain stops the process

hunterreads.bsky.social•35 days ago

I've only accidentally opened TikTok twice in the last 15 minutes. Progress

sunnypalomino.bsky.social•34 days ago

I deleted it so I would stop doing that, now I can’t get it back and I’m torn on if that’s good or not..

mcjeep.bsky.social•35 days ago

It’s like flipping the light switch on when you know the power is out.

jessreadscasually.bsky.social•35 days ago

I didn't realize how hard it would be 😫

katiw.bsky.social•34 days ago

I moved my apps around and deleted TikTok. I'm still undecided what to do with FB & IG so I moved it to the fourth page and turned off notifications. I haven't touched it so far.

genericjess.bsky.social•35 days ago

I moved the app to a totally different screen

anaisthebestest.bsky.social•35 days ago

It's the only way to beat the muscle memory 🥲 makes me remember and think more when I can't find it in its usual spot 😭

mcmozz.bsky.social•35 days ago

Hey, OG Booktok friend. I did the same thing about six times already. 😔 #booksky

crysta-lyn.bsky.social•35 days ago

So hard.

ksully815.bsky.social•35 days ago

I went to touch it and remembered that i deleted it off my phone 😭

rezduck86.bsky.social•35 days ago

I had to remove it from my phone so I didn’t do the same thing 😩

charlieblix.bsky.social•35 days ago

Yeah, I moved the icon and replaced the spot with YouTube. It’s not going great.

t1ffreads.bsky.social•35 days ago

They took CapCut too! 🥺😭

ahceinaej.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’ve done that all day. 😭

sherreads.bsky.social•35 days ago

I put Reddit where Facebook was so I have ended up there like 27 times.

bacon4mercy.bsky.social•35 days ago

The Carrot app humbled me this morning when I checked the weather first. It was the kick in the ass I needed.

parttimesarah.bsky.social•35 days ago

Good luck 😔

inadequatehero.bsky.social•35 days ago

I moved the app to a different place so it’s not muscle memory.

jenfindsgems.bsky.social•35 days ago

Too late 😅

cutenesswolfy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Same here

aimlessnpc.bsky.social•35 days ago

Same 😂

casiereeebs.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’m at 7 times for the morning 😭

beffabodybag.bsky.social•35 days ago

I feel slightly better cause I instinctively opened it this morning, hoping it might have all been a fever dream. 😭

trishg85.bsky.social•35 days ago

First thing I did this morning, just in case ☹️

sailordarkstar.bsky.social•35 days ago

Tell me how it’s going because my thumb just need to scroll

elysianrhapsody.bsky.social•35 days ago

I deleted it because I don't want whatever suppressed version we're gonna get when it comes back...

But I still keep going to its spot to open it 😅 Playing weird mental games with myself.

trashyypandareads.bsky.social•35 days ago

I had to move the app to a different spot in the folder 😔 can’t bring myself to delete it yet.

xo-marissa.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’ve done that so many times 💀

maggpieleigh.bsky.social•35 days ago

I just removed it from my home screen.

hairyhausen.bsky.social•35 days ago

I’ve already done it half a dozen times. I moved it to a folder for the time being and replaced it with Balatro, which is an even trade on a general time-suck scale.
