Make a personal website. It can be really simple! Do it for free at https://neocities.org! But have one of your very own that no one else controls. And start a newsletter. Make sure the service allows you to export and move your subscribers. Okay, now you have some independence and options.

Regardless of the issues w/ the TikTok ban, these kind of takes are strange to me. Do people not realize these apps are constantly dying (Friendster, Orkut) or withering away (Tumblr, MySpace) or "pivoting" in ways that crash industries (Facebook, Twitter)? You cannot ever trust them.

Following creators outside of social media is difficult. It takes a lot more effort.
How is this different than a Facebook page for instance?

A newsletter seems necessary these days. Hate 'em, myself, so I never set one up.

Jokes aside, thank you so much for the tips!
We all gotta return to RSS, you can follow any site without an account somewhere. Imagine not being forced to sign up for a thing to follow someone. They had it figured out
Maybe someday when it is cleaned up
Newsletter can be turned into an rss feeds. And Youtube channels.
Facebook killing rss access was one of the biggest mile stones to the internet siloing into closed spaces
