There's such an eerie kind of silence on TikTok right now 🤐

And then at this exact weekend before the upcoming events 🤔

It's hard to stay calm and collected and not to speculate when it feels like the narrative is being controlled 😬

And I'm not even American.

Damaging things, sowing chaos, then swooping in as the savior to make others dependent is the modus operandi of a psychopathic, malignant narcissist. TikTok is dead, for good. Don’t be whipsawed around by psychopaths.

I wondered what it was going to be like.. the calm before the storm

I have an eerie supposition that, byte dance sold off the American users, and TikTok America will be on twitters or metas algorithms.

Most of my friends on TT are American and I already miss them! It’s not the same.

As an American I have to ask, what does it look like? Are the accounts still there but frozen in place? Or in marvel terms were we just snapped out of existence?

Someone said they can see pur accounts, we're just not there. I feel like I should have posted my own eulogy or something before we "left"

That has to be so weird, I posted a final Tok to my friends the night before. It has to be a kind of quiet on there today, I know we weren’t the entire app, but it’s a large segment of people.

Some in our government were allowed to keep the app so they could keep the narrative going under their control! It is so demeaning to all of us!!

I told someone "Imagine France telling Facebook they had to sell to a French citizen or they'd be banned" and I was laughed at. You can't(well shouldn't be able to) dictate who is allowed to own a social media company

This is and has always been about them not wanting us to have the ability to communicate with each other.

It’s making it difficult to stay informed… which was part of the point.
