Friendly PSA: when people are angry or sad about the loss of something they enjoyed, telling them you don’t like that thing adds nothing of value to the conversation. Let people process their losses in peace.

Yes! And people posting on other social media sites that they don't care about tik tok - but you still seek the dopamine hit of engagement elsewhere. Mmmmmk.
Because tiktok was one of those apps where I could enjoy everything I love. I found great recipes, learned new drawing tricks, watch video game clips. I love tiktok wayyyyy better than anything meta has created
I agree, but it's been compromised and will not become state sponsored media. Bluesky is working on their video feature and I'm sure it will take off soon.
I loved tik tok as well but refuse to use it after the CEO bent the knee
People punching down at TikTokers are so out of touch and think it makes them as edgy as they feel when they make fun of people for listening to Taylor Swift.
I’ve already unfollowed/blocked some heartless TikTok haters over their reactions to people upset over the app’s banning. I don’t use it myself much but I can understand the feelings of loss.
My sister caught me talking like that earlier and told me how it is, and I very much appreciated it. Because I don't use it I never realized how important of a community it is to so many people. For that I am sorry, and I hope apps like it can stick around to help people find their communities.
Also friendly PSA: If they're willing to ban one social media platform, and the Supreme Court acknowledges it as a violation of the 1st amendment but upholds it anyway, they can ban any and every social media platform. TikTok won't be the last.
I saw a lot of "I'm so glad those tiktok dances are done they were so annoying and d*mb" and "now those influences will have to get a real job! Ha ha sucks to be them" mentalities and it was appalling (but not shocking) to see the lack of empathy and understanding of the big picture
I read this inferring a different context, and it's good advice either way. I was thinking of people who are no longer able to enjoy Neil Gaiman's work, or at least not the same way they used to enjoy it. Anyone who tells me "yeah, I never liked his work, no big deal" is NOT HELPING.
I look forward to meeting all the #TikTok transplants and welcoming them into our community. They had a lot of energy and healthy conversations going, and it’d be nice to learn from them to build our own utopia here.
Must it be said still?
If you don't want to hear a counter opinion or rebuke, then don't state it publicly on a social media.
Go text some sucking up yes men in your bubble if that's all you can handle.
Closest to being one I called a racist a racist, which if that's being an asshole, I'm happy to be one.
Thing is, if I'm so cruel, which I don't agree, why would you bother to tell me?
We don't know each other, feel free to block me if you're so bothered.
I'll be very sad about it.
Denying the role TikTok played in helping bidens massive BOOM in small businesses is def a choice. TikTok was also the foundation of building communities for a lot people who previously struggled to find each other on other SM. TikTok in the wrong hands is also a horrible weapon & that’s undeniable.
If it is the death of a pet or loved one, then people shouldn't be assholes, but if we are talking about the death of TikTok. What do people expect? Everyone to indulge them? It's social media, expect contrary opinions. And let's put it in perspective. We aren't Ukrainian being killed by Russians.

Consideration, please.
