I thought I was ready but I’m crashing out and not even because of the app being gone but because of what this all means about where this country is headed like omg??? Even if you hate TikTok you shouldn’t be celebrating. Stop being a hater for a second and THINK - ThreadSky

Perfectly said!

Especially with raids and an inauguration? I’m blocking every “maybe go read a book” that I see.

omairy.bsky.social•45 days ago

People are not comprehending what this means. Like we are in trouble

planetnhyia.bsky.social•45 days ago

People are not realizing because they’re not realizing press/ news isn’t just tv or the newspaper anymore. TikTok was one of the only sources where we got unbiased news coverage on anything

leahjustyaps.bsky.social•45 days ago

thinking is making me nauseous but it’s so scary. im actually scared of this country rn

notkala.bsky.social•45 days ago

ugh same why couldn’t we be born dumb I’m sick

leahjustyaps.bsky.social•45 days ago

same 😭

sydnicarmichael.bsky.social•45 days ago

losing the community we have all built over there is the worst part…even it if comes back it won’t be the same 😭

sourandsweet.bsky.social•45 days ago

i'm afraid most people haven't truly grasped what this actually means.

timbakity.bsky.social•45 days ago

It’s free speech being taken away. I cried a lot today. Some of the good bye TikTok’s just hit me hard.

ncase.bsky.social•45 days ago

and if it comes back, everyone is going to be praising trump for saving it. and/or zuckerberg will have his hands in the app

nancyk5.bsky.social•45 days ago

China should allow American social media platforms to operate there.

sicknastysarah.bsky.social•45 days ago

Literally! It's so much bigger than just jumping to a new app. This is the beginning of the power trip. We are going to have so much cleaning up to do.

fluffypotatotv.bsky.social•45 days ago

I agree also if it comes back it will be corrupted I won’t be able to trust it

notkala.bsky.social•45 days ago

Exactly it’s gone forever for all of us using our brains

elnawser.bsky.social•45 days ago

The U.S. is gradually becoming Russia. People don't like to hear it, but 1990s United States Congresspeople and presidents would have shown enough restraint that a TikTok ban would've never even been brought up for a vote.

stargirlwanderlust.bsky.social•45 days ago

This is so wrong and they just want us to sit back. We need a way to communicate, gather and have our voices heard!

My anxiety hasn’t been this high in months

thefoxontherocks.bsky.social•45 days ago

Friendly reminder that Trump got butt hurt from K-pop fans who organized and hurt his little ego so HE initiated a TikTok ban; now he teamed up with the CEO of TikTok and created a dear leader type of message to everyone, so he can “save it”. Fuck,fascists, and fuck, oligarchs; delete all Meta apps.

lolory.bsky.social•45 days ago

People on other websites like reddit and twt and tumblr celebrating like their sites aren't next on the chopping block lol they're not going to stop at tiktok they want to control the narrative on every social media website in this country.

gabriellegrace11.bsky.social•45 days ago

i’m crashing out too. I am very scared. The heaviness of being cut off from each other on that platform, with its brilliant algorithm that truly no other app has recreated, is pretty danm heavy

lesbi-cherrypepsi.bsky.social•45 days ago

fascist countries ban apps

devan-in-a-hurry.bsky.social•45 days ago

I love TikTok for all the shallow goofy reasons but also because of the profound ones. I’m pissed my toy got taken away but I’m terrified of the actual implications of censorship and violations of freedoms and losses of community for many. It IS that deep💔

hallow-jupiter.bsky.social•45 days ago

I mean, the bill behind this is terrifying. Personally I never really cared about the ban, but it's the first on a bill that would basically let the US ban any internationally owned social media cause they feel like it... It's awful

mandashow31.bsky.social•45 days ago

I’m sad too bc of the people who are like “it’s an app” to me, this is so much more than that. Especially with the mention of Trump in the goodbye message

notkala.bsky.social•45 days ago

They really don’t get it yet but they will very soon

mandashow31.bsky.social•45 days ago

Exactly that

temolo.bsky.social•45 days ago

Ugh same
