Establishment Dems needed a patsy for an organic American Springs. China. Biden was scared.
Damaging things, sowing chaos, then swooping in as the savior to make others dependent is the modus operandi of a psychopathic, malignant narcissist, Trump. TikTok is dead. Don’t be whipsawed by psychopaths.
Glad to see you here, Doc. I’m having TikTok withdrawals, any tips for that? How’s Jimothy? I also miss Dr. Rubin and his daily TikToks about allergies. 😫
Tiktok helped me figure out what my mystery illness was that made it difficult if not impossible to eat solid food for 2 years. And I absolutely loved your videos.
I'm coming to the realization that Bluesky is almost entirely gen X and I hate it. If I hear one more neo liberal pull yourself up by your bootstraps take about TikTok or "communist china stealing your data" from some dude who hasn't had a personality since cellphones were in bags I'm gonna lose it.
I'm genX and a TT user. I loved it on TikTok and it drives me up the wall to see people ridicule it. The wealth of knowledge I have learned there will always stay with me
I really enjoy(ed?) TikTok. I do have some concerns about security issues since it was used to spy on journalists. But I also have had so much fun watching things on it, and Instagram Reels is not the same.
I swear some switch flipped in people and I saw the absolute most Facebook boomer “when I was their age, we played outside”, “father, I cannot click the book” takes for a little while.
Looks like that’s declining but still, I didn’t realize those people even existed, thought it was satire.
Agreed. I have had so many people who say it’s good to be gone. MIND YOUUUU none of them have or do even use the damn app!! One of my coworkers even bought into the spyware angle but she uses temu 🤦🏾♂️
Hoping more of my fav Tik Tokers like you flock here. Gotta change the vibe from “stuffed shirt condescension” to “Tik Tok comment section wit” around here!
Cmon-we can answer any nastiness with biting wit and ambivalent sarcasm. It’s not necessary to care about the opinions of people that don’t share our experiences. We aren’t in Kansas any more-just follow the yellow brick road and follow others
Yes! I've already seen so much hostility here for just talking about why TT mattered to me and how I used it 😭 like... I'm just audhd and love to learn, and share knowledge. TT was perfect for that and I didn't have to deal with all of.... whatever is happening here... 😅
I’ve been seeing the same apathy/hostility/eye rolling over on IG in the reels comments. I’m really truly seeing how individualistic meta platforms made people. They just want to share memes, crack jokes about us, and intentionally miss the seriousness of it.
When I was talking about how we are an oligarchy and that there’s more of us than there are of them, someone called me a fascist… Like Homie the government works for us and they’re not doing their job and it’s our job to overthrow them if they are not doing it…
There is a whole load of asshole covid deniers who are still using the fact that a few nurses made tiktok dancing videos near the beginning to claim that health professionals didn’t actually risk our lives, and in some cases die to keep them safe.
I am so worried about my disabled friends who used tiktok for full time income. I am also disabled but luckily I have a support system to fall on. Not everyone has the luxury, this is so messed up.
Underserved people (including those with disabilities) shafted again. True for those who are unsheltered, as well. There was also diversity among communities that (anecdotally) helped with people who felt isolated in their homes or offline communities.
The number of bad takes surrounding the TikTok ban I’ve seen on BlueSky is alarming. This is the place where we all fled to boycott Meta and X. So why are people here mocking TikTok, the only other non-Meta platform with a strong community?
I redownloaded twitter last night to get away from this space, and for the most part, Twitter gets it. Kills me to say nice things about an emotionally abusive ex.
Also, the vast majority of BlueSky users are leftist. So why do I see so many people on here parroting the right-wing disinformation that got TikTok banned in the first place?
I joined Bluesky the first time before the election and left two weeks later when the people here started dumping on someone who opened up about a mental health crisis. It doesn’t appear to have gotten better.
I’m really trying, but it just doesn’t seem to have the same community feel of Threads. I was never on Tik Tok, but I feel so bad for people who had their income just shut off like this.

Also you are correct.
