Foreign friends: what is TikTok like with the absence of the Americans today? Is the difference palpable? Is the vibe good or bad? I’m curious as to how the rest of the world is doing on there without us. 💔🇺🇸 - ThreadSky

Foreign friends: what is TikTok like with the absence of the Americans today?

Is the difference palpable?

Is the vibe good or bad?

I’m curious as to how the rest of the world is doing on there without us.

Me, a few hours ago:

I made sure to watch every single goodbye video that made it onto my FYP. (they're still coming)

cyndimarie22.bsky.social•51 days ago

Following you!! I miss my tiktok dammit 😭

lottiedpy.bsky.social•51 days ago

For now my fyp still looks the same, I think it will take à few days to see a difference,

grandmamawitch.bsky.social•51 days ago

Since the mango menace says the U.S. will have 50% ownership, will international users stay on?

fleeting-life.bsky.social•51 days ago

Can't read other ppls posts here but from what Canadians and everyone else has said it's been quiet. With the exception that alot of Europeans are talking trash about us.

victorial08.bsky.social•51 days ago

Even if TikTok comes back, I will not be on it since it will be purchased by someone who heavily wants to censor us. It’s just a way to control and “see” what we are up to!

sorahsuhng.bsky.social•51 days ago

I’m heartbroken but same. I deleted it last night. I’m really hoping @bsky.app makes a comparable app.

yara-bee.bsky.social•51 days ago

This!!!

enby-fem3.bsky.social•51 days ago

Same

jillybaggadonuts.bsky.social•51 days ago

exactly. i deleted my account before it went dark

lexiivice.bsky.social•51 days ago

Same. Also set my profile to private and shut off any sharing or access so the account is invisible during the 30 day period before it’s permanently deleted.

catlady4ever77.bsky.social•51 days ago

Same. I deleted all of my META accounts and I'm not going back. If TikTok does get bought out and come back, I'm deleting TikTok too.

charleemom.bsky.social•51 days ago

I deleted everything before I left.

auntieemm.bsky.social•51 days ago

I wish I would have. I just saw that everyone can still see our profiles and that is weird to me.

cheezandcrackrs.bsky.social•51 days ago

Kinda feels like...

quinnwardwrites.bsky.social•51 days ago

I turned on two-factor authentication, turned off comments, and made my account private. That way everything is there but only friends can still see it.

jillybaggadonuts.bsky.social•51 days ago

yeah i was afraid of AI bots taking over my account if we werent able to get back on. i wouldnt put that past these techbros.

wardrumphoenix.bsky.social•51 days ago

I set mine to private before it went down.

jillybaggadonuts.bsky.social•51 days ago

oh good strategy. i wonder if they'd find a way around that

sickofit23.bsky.social•51 days ago

Me too! I deleted my account and the app from my phone around 7pm.

mgg84.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was trying to delete when it went dark. I never posted so it doesn’t make a big difference to me, but I would have liked to have it gone completely. Meta was a 100% delete and never going back.

yo-no-ce.bsky.social•51 days ago

I wiped my datat but I road it out until my very last swipe 😢. I knw when it returns its not going to be the same.

floridiangonerogue.bsky.social•51 days ago

It has the vibe here we are all texting each other while there is a meeting happening that we aren't allowed to speak at. But thr meeting is 100% about us.

sojjourner.bsky.social•51 days ago

Good to see you. 🙂

kweenebee.bsky.social•51 days ago

I agree, we’re stuck in a slack channel while the zoom mtg is ongoing

floridiangonerogue.bsky.social•51 days ago

wrexxy.bsky.social•51 days ago

Omg glad to find you here!

orcishdelite.bsky.social•51 days ago

I’m still getting notifications. Anyone else?

torithefishburn.bsky.social•51 days ago

I got a notification for a comment as well! But I wasn't able to view the comment.

nerdthattalksgood.com•51 days ago

Someone needs to set up a YouTube live stream scrolling through various non-US TT FYPs so we can get our fix.

ravenrose91.bsky.social•51 days ago

So, I really hate that we at least can’t turn our accounts private… because I’m a trans woman and I’m almost CERTAIN that I’m going to start racking up hate comments and unchallenged reports on my account until it gets 🍌’d b4 we get to come back (maybe)

gardensardency.bsky.social•51 days ago

If you go to the App Store a message about TikTok is on the top. If you click it and scroll all the way down there’s a link. I haven’t tried it, but it’s there.

susannahcross.bsky.social•51 days ago

Ok. I looked on the Google app store and it's not showing up like that

ravenrose91.bsky.social•51 days ago

I mean… cool? 🤷🏼‍♀️ not really what I was talking about, but great info for anyone who had a subscription in TikTok

cyndimarie22.bsky.social•51 days ago

OMG 😟 I hope it's not allowing that shit!! They shouldn't be able to comment on our accounts if we can't be there!! I'm following you on here sweetie 🥰

msdarkside.bsky.social•51 days ago

It’s just not the same, and if meta buys it I’m gone

stellaisaveteran.bsky.social•51 days ago

Not just Zuckerberg. Musk. Bezos. Oleary. The Vice President of China. All invited...

itsjustm.bsky.social•51 days ago

I heard our accounts are still there.

silverxsilver1.bsky.social•51 days ago

Are they sticking up for us? 😔

trishica.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yes! You guys are missed already.

silverxsilver1.bsky.social•51 days ago

Thank you, you are missed too 😭

cyndimarie22.bsky.social•51 days ago

I miss y'all 😭 this is not fair 😭 I'm turning 47 on the 24th and pretty sure I'm old enough to make my own decisions! F#ck our government!! F#ck Tom Cotton and his BS and F#ck Trump for proposing the ban in 2020

silverxsilver1.bsky.social•51 days ago

Omg same,I'm about to be 39 and disabled so this was truly a way to connect. To anyone who's excuted about trump bringing it back...just be weary

cyndimarie22.bsky.social•51 days ago

Definitely be weary! He's wanting US to own 50% of it!! All about profit - not our safety! It was never about our safety!

stardustjess.bsky.social•51 days ago

It’s quiet. We miss you 🇨🇦💔

catswineverytime.bsky.social•51 days ago

Thanks...it really feels like we're in a vacuum right now. So scary....

cyndimarie22.bsky.social•51 days ago

We miss y'all 😭

searchingformyzen.bsky.social•51 days ago

It’s lonely without all the amazing Americans. But Canadians, Aussies and Brits are the majority of the fyp, which is strange to see. We Can still watch all the American videos as they are still on your pages.

the-real-rj.bsky.social•51 days ago

It feels uncomfortable and it’s making me restless.

monik3r.bsky.social•51 days ago

Withdrawal? 👀

the-real-rj.bsky.social•51 days ago

Exactly

summergirl505.bsky.social•51 days ago

"It feels like you're at a party and the person you 'know know' hasn't shown up yet."

summergirl505.bsky.social•51 days ago

One of our favs is bored 😕

summergirl505.bsky.social•51 days ago

"It's so quiet"

peaceloverock4.bsky.social•51 days ago

This made me tear up. In America it feels a bit like the beginning of the Handmaids Tale. The government is grabbing control.

sushiiseal.bsky.social•51 days ago

This is exactly what I was thinking and feeling this morning. It's surreal and frightening.

yo-no-ce.bsky.social•51 days ago

summergirl505.bsky.social•51 days ago

There is a decent amount of....

summergirl505.bsky.social•51 days ago

I posted this a couple times today already. Some people are saying they want to fill the space. The rest feel like this....

gobbysmurf.bsky.social•51 days ago

Ill temporary download it and let you know.

gobbysmurf.bsky.social•51 days ago

Well somehow Mr Beast is getting on it. Rav mack has somehow managed to get on posting the wee popup that comes on saying its banned. Ross Smith has posted a funny farewell with his gran. So by looks of things we still see your videos, we just can't see updated ones or interact

erikaj88.bsky.social•51 days ago

MrBeast is another billionaire. He likely has some sort of location spoof or VPN that allows him to be undetected or phones he purchased from other countries he’s a billionaire. The possibilities are endless.

gobbysmurf.bsky.social•51 days ago

Aye, fair point. He was live somehow. Either that hes on the damn island he promised someone.

gobbysmurf.bsky.social•51 days ago

All of your accounts are still active. So it *feels* as if nothing has changee, but ill be homest, still feels like a family member is missing.

jdpeele85.bsky.social•51 days ago

Im just mad we can't see the memes about us. So unfair.

yankeerose9973.bsky.social•51 days ago

I'm sure they're just fine. Most of them think we're horrible.

orpheusfound.bsky.social•51 days ago

Personally, I find the absence of American voices disheartening. I've kinda lost the appetite to be on tiktok just now - they say that what happens in the US bleeds through into the UK, so I'm worried about that 😕

gobbysmurf.bsky.social•51 days ago

Same :(

wrexxy.bsky.social•51 days ago

❤️❤️❤️ keep us in the loop;) we are blind now, and the rest of the world is our eyes. Be the opp;)

bad-eyed-bookworm.bsky.social•51 days ago

We are heading into an election in Canada and our own far right who's more popular than he has a right to be, is already hinting he will follow suit. I don't know if I care. Taking a wait and see approach for which app. Neptune sounds promising, Lots of ppl staying om META for now until regrouping.

pufferella.bsky.social•51 days ago

This isn’t good. This is a punishment it shouldn’t matter if it’s going to be back in a few days it is not going to be the same. This sets a dangerous precedent. Anyone saying it doesn’t needs to reevaluate their views on the matter.

lmbr.bsky.social•51 days ago

It’s all a scam to make Trump look like the hero.

pufferella.bsky.social•51 days ago

A lot of us suspected that leftist content was being suppressed on purpose. Now we know it was.

erikaj88.bsky.social•51 days ago

The United States of America belongs to the oligarchy the sooner people except that the faster will be able to fight them. Democracy is gone. TikTok may have been just an app, but it meant so much much more if they were able to succeed and they fucking did.

erikaj88.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yep, and now they’re setting Donald Trump up for the rescue . The idea that all of these app stores were horrified of the federal government should tell you everything you need to know and helped them oppress almost 200,000,000 people fuck this country. It’s not our country anymore.

cassitttyy.bsky.social•51 days ago

geneva1111.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yep

espy13.bsky.social•51 days ago

Is anyone able to access using a VPN?

ladysquiregwen.bsky.social•51 days ago

No. I tried that when I got up and connected to Canada through my VPN. Tiktok was still dark for me here in Washington State.

espy13.bsky.social•51 days ago

Wow, that's crazy. Thanks for sharing. The VPN thing is a bit over my head, but I was really curious. Saw someone on TT that Canada is looking to follow in banning TT.

gardensardency.bsky.social•51 days ago

Know anyone who goes to BC a lot? I wonder if it works when they cross the border. I saw someone said that CA has been having trouble too though.

ladysquiregwen.bsky.social•51 days ago

Looks like it's coming back online in the US. Reason, no clue but definitely sus.

ladysquiregwen.bsky.social•51 days ago

FYI, looks like TikTok is coming back online slowly. No longer blocked from my profile or the shop or my notifications. Still no videos yet.

purpleyoux7x.bsky.social•51 days ago

I’m from the UK and I’ve seen a few Americans who have got on using VPN. James Charles being one of them. You have to set up a new account though. You can’t connect using your current one.

espy13.bsky.social•51 days ago

Oh, cool! That's good to know as well. Also. Sorry you still have to see James Charles on TT, first thing in the morning. 😬

genxcapade.bsky.social•51 days ago

It’s different-ish. Everyone’s content is still there. I’m even still getting a bit of American content on my FYP. Just no engagement from American creators. I love my Canadian folks, but I had so many lovely Americans that I followed.

kweenebee.bsky.social•51 days ago

Following you in hopes you will post news updates about America that they aren’t telling us

genxcapade.bsky.social•51 days ago

I don’t know that “Canadian Spy” has the same ring to it, but I will try. 😘

cyndimarie22.bsky.social•51 days ago

I had to follow you after this 😂

janetj-24.bsky.social•51 days ago

I saw that they still see US videos and comments.

redcrescentmoon.bsky.social•51 days ago

As a US TikTok user, if it comes back, I’m grabbing the rest of my followers info for apps elsewhere, then leaving. It won’t be the same no matter what happens at this point. Maybe I’ll linger until another app can more or less replace it, otherwise, it’s cooked 😭

wwharding.bsky.social•51 days ago

My understanding is that US content is all still there, we're just unable to access it.

orpheusfound.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yes, we can see the posts made before the ban, and ironically, I'm still getting 'likes' for comments that I've made - on accounts where the creator is blocked 🚫

jad-pyro.bsky.social•51 days ago

Kind of frozen in past time... We can see posts from hours/days ago.

kinkykit02.bsky.social•51 days ago

Just a quick scroll… I’m still seeing American videos popping up ranging from yesterday to over a week ago…

kinkykit02.bsky.social•51 days ago

Real talk: it’s nice to still see these vids popping up cuz I have a chance to run and follow everyone on YT. I’ve been non-existent on TT this past week.

buttonsb.bsky.social•51 days ago

I'd say a good amount of us is missing our American cousins. It definitely doesn't feel the same. We can still see your profiles and you are still coming up on our fyp. But it is slowly changing as day goes on.

pesegolsson.bsky.social•51 days ago

a lot of ppl are still in chock i think, but those who aren't are quite vocal about the ban as well. and then there are those who just go on as if nothing happened. but it sure feels a lot emptier without the American creators.

cindyns1.bsky.social•51 days ago

Well, here in Canada, in my FYP unless you enjoy all the BS the conservatives are going on aboot dealing with Trudeau, it is not the same without our American friends.

I hope they can sell TikTok to anyone but Musk or one of Trump boot licker friends, we need everyone on TikTok.

amandathe1st.bsky.social•51 days ago

Unfortunately I don’t think I and many other Americans will be going back to the app. The point will be censorship and surveillance following any deal.

ohhobbies.bsky.social•51 days ago

Unless there's a whole miracle or someone who won't sensor it taking over. I'll be just using it to finish finding people elsewhere most likely. Would be funny to constantly post smart ass images mocking the gov until I'm banned though.

firebreathingbitch.bsky.social•51 days ago

Please keep us posted. We miss all our friends

neonravedog.bsky.social•51 days ago

I wouldn't feel safe returning if it was sold to *any* American entity at this point

They talk about hypothetical influence China's govt can have on tiktok, but we've seen how American companies like FB and Twitter abuse our data and encourage or spread propaganda. No thanks

amandawalterlife.bsky.social•51 days ago

💔😭

mrnmrph.bsky.social•51 days ago

American living overseas here! It sucks! It’s replaying a lot of American videos from the past few days and then very bleak unimportant stuff.

sern1t.bsky.social•51 days ago

Are you able to interact with the American videos? (leave comments, stitch, bookmark)

mrnmrph.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yes, everything is the same as usual.

sern1t.bsky.social•51 days ago

😳

visuallytoxik.bsky.social•51 days ago

Wow.. I knew it... I told my husband last night I assumed this was a big power move. And if and when it ever came back, it wouldn't be the same ever again .. 😭

mrnmrph.bsky.social•51 days ago

Absolutely not. Whether TT CEO is playing the fence or not. He’s already in the inner circle. I hope I’m wrong? But I don’t think it will go back to unfiltered stories like before.

visuallytoxik.bsky.social•51 days ago

Exactly my thoughts. I feel as tho we are all stuck in an abusive narcissistic relationship with our government. And all we want them to do is get out. With no one listening that can help us. It's terrifying the amount of crap that they are getting away with. That they have gotten away with

geneva1111.bsky.social•51 days ago

It'll never be the same 🤬🤮

shawnu292.bsky.social•51 days ago

Seems like trump just hit his first socialist idea. 50% ownership by the government?

yo-no-ce.bsky.social•51 days ago

So he wants 50% ownership?Who's he removing it from? 20% is employee owned and 60%is owned between Susquehanna, Sequoia, and General Atlantic (which are American VC) and another 20% was the founder and Chinese investors. This makes me think they will screw over the employees portion.

geneva1111.bsky.social•51 days ago

I don't know, but all I feel is that when it comes back (could be today) it'll become a MAGAts playground

dana-lisa.bsky.social•51 days ago

After the election, I started getting suggestions on my FYP that were very MAGA plus a lot more religious based content that I never did before. I was on witchtok & follow independent or blue politicians/creators.

yo-no-ce.bsky.social•51 days ago

Absolutely true. It will be state media controlled. I'm not going back.

geneva1111.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yes

qcrys.bsky.social•51 days ago

I do not like that they can comment. What happens if they spam our videos with rude/gross things

sern1t.bsky.social•51 days ago

Agreed!

cassitttyy.bsky.social•51 days ago

Someone from the UK said our accounts and content are still available

ih8itthnx.bsky.social•51 days ago

This is why I put my account on private before the shut down. People are gonna take this opportunity to steal peoples content and repost it

tbroen.bsky.social•51 days ago

I think that might have been a good move. But people are having fun with Fox News' account. It seems there's not really any opportunity to hide or report comments for any US accounts.

ih8itthnx.bsky.social•51 days ago

I love this for them 😅 that’s what they get for keeping tiktok for themselves

xphiley2.bsky.social•51 days ago

I hope they all have the day they deserve! Lol

donkeymom12.bsky.social•51 days ago

I never considered that. Smart!!

ih8itthnx.bsky.social•51 days ago

I can’t take credit for that idea, I saw a tiktok of a guy suggesting doing this before the app went dark! 😩😭 I wish I could remember who it was

sorahsuhng.bsky.social•51 days ago

I deleted all my content but didn’t delete my profile, I’ll be leaving it there to die lol

sonicpix.bsky.social•51 days ago

I'm in Canada and it's blocked for some of us. My cell and desktop were blocked. I can switch service providers and they 3 big ones are all blocked. But my back up has limited access and functionality. It's strange

gardensardency.bsky.social•51 days ago

Are you really close to the border? I really couldn’t imagine that affecting anything, since you phone should still reflect that you’re in CA, but it’s the only thing that kind of makes sense. Either way it’s kind of sus.

sonicpix.bsky.social•51 days ago

There's a discussion on Reddit about it. I'm about 120 km from the border. I can switch cell providers and others no change. My back up account can get very limited access

torithefishburn.bsky.social•51 days ago

Y'all should sue

greenspit.bsky.social•51 days ago

My fyp is the same as a Canadian. Other than a bunch of Canadian creators making videos saying that americans are gone. But americans videos are still there. Im seeing a bunch of farewell videos from us creators. Content didn't get removed. So it may take a few days or weeks for everything to change

greenspit.bsky.social•51 days ago

Its strange. If it stays this way, its gonna just look like a bunch of abandoned pages

cjolivermusic.bsky.social•51 days ago

Someone from another country said the ads skyrocketed since it went dark here.

bluedot25.bsky.social•51 days ago

For some reason, I’m still able to get in, I can’t scroll on my feed, but I can go through all my my posts. Very odd. Hawk can’t get in at all.

offtde.bsky.social•51 days ago

I've been seeing a lot of last goodbye from US users, got new faces on my fyp, and the "now that the Americans are gone" is more of a trend to make vids about (positive & Negatives). Generally, people don't seem to believe the ban will stay

joycetakako.bsky.social•51 days ago

I miss all my friends already 😔

slemley.bsky.social•51 days ago

Idea- someone (outside US) should put together a YT with specific FYPs and scroll that FYP for an hour a day, checking in to comments and sharing viewers' comments. 🥲

cath3rina.bsky.social•51 days ago

Lotst of different and more diverse content. And lots of Australian and Canadian accounts are popping up on my feed 🤗

dominatrixnicole.bsky.social•51 days ago

I just made a test post,
quite like “the usual”, see how the reach is.
For now, I was still fed a lot of ISA made posts.

foreva89.bsky.social•51 days ago

TikTok only went dark to make Trump look good for bringing it back. TikTok won’t be the same when it returns, I’m so disappointed that half of the country follows this man no matter what!

sarmart.bsky.social•51 days ago

Remember, lifting the Tiktok ban could be Trumps first act of defying all the other branches of government. Don't let it desensitize us!

winkadink.bsky.social•51 days ago

I’ll be deleting TikTok if Trump “saves” it.

hottrmomma.bsky.social•51 days ago

He's going to hold it ransom. Guarantee!

papasdf.bsky.social•51 days ago

TrumpTok is more like it

emefff.bsky.social•51 days ago

Exactly this!!!

neece89.bsky.social•51 days ago

It’s so weird and the content is not the same - miss you there

5dhwy.bsky.social•51 days ago

Friends, friends; please remember if you're deleting TikTok to remove your content and then delete.

frasin.bsky.social•51 days ago

I'm on your page, crying! Stay safe and strong🖤🤘

maighdeann-roin.bsky.social•51 days ago

Honestly, it's a bit of a weird vibe. There's still a smattering of last minute US creator posts, and a whole bunch of Canadians and Aussies looking to see who's still around. Plus some discussion of who is going to takeover Booktok etc.

On the plus side, Rednote is lovely

whovianjen.bsky.social•51 days ago

They are looking to ban RN in the US now….sigh…I miss BookTok.

maighdeann-roin.bsky.social•51 days ago

Oh for sure RN can't be far behind. I'm just hoping people steer clear of anything Zuckerberg has his slimy lizard claws on

ednabright25.bsky.social•51 days ago

There is a #booksky trending on here.

whovianjen.bsky.social•51 days ago

I found it and there is a #breadsky!

mandischu84.bsky.social•51 days ago

Their T&C state your posts are there property… I don’t like that..

maighdeann-roin.bsky.social•51 days ago

Is that all that different than any other social media platform? Even Patreon has terms like that

mandischu84.bsky.social•51 days ago

I’ve never seen that kind of wording… is it really worth dl’ing the app? I’m Leary but willing to try it.. just don’t want to start and then lost it like tiktok

maighdeann-roin.bsky.social•51 days ago

It's been really lovely so far. Admittedly I'm more lurker than poster...but everyone seems to be on their best behaviour and there's been a lot of really nice exchanges between Chinese and western users.

mandischu84.bsky.social•51 days ago

I’ve seen that there’s learning between each other.. which is really cool..

alugma11.bsky.social•51 days ago

I'm hoping we at least get the 90 day extension until they can figure something out. It was reported that meta did not purchase it. So that's something.

bad-eyed-bookworm.bsky.social•51 days ago

🇨🇦 here. There's an odd vibe now. You see posts, & 1/2 of the time, it feels like apparitions bc you know that user is American & are not within the "realm," so to speak. Worry about creators whose livelihood & mental health were tied to that app. but honestly not sure if it could be the same again.

jdavidson0414.bsky.social•51 days ago

Wouldn't it be funny if all the foreign followers called OUR congressmen that voted for the ban and asked them why we can't come out and play? Or make missing person (creator) reports to Congressmen? Then post the videos on YT? 😂

aparadisestill.bsky.social•51 days ago

That's brilliant 👏

ifounddori.bsky.social•51 days ago

Amazing!!!!

geneva1111.bsky.social•51 days ago

You're all still there. I can view, comment and repost any of your content. You are there, but YOU are not there. Its creepy

ohhobbies.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yes! Can y'all do this! Troll TF out of our gov.

visuallytoxik.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yessss ... This would be fantastic 😊

ncadavo.bsky.social•51 days ago

Getting a weird remix of videos from as early as 2022. A lot of doomstuff. empireending prophecies and old astrology content. Had an algosetback earlier this month and had to rebuild it in the last weeks to see us content.

bassoongirl.bsky.social•51 days ago

Empty……🇺🇸 living in 🇪🇸

elizablue93.bsky.social•51 days ago

It could be conditioned thinking on my part here but, isn’t the US like the epicenter of entertainment for most of the world? Or am I wrong?

madgreek2024.bsky.social•51 days ago

Welcome #tiktokrefugee

meganstow.bsky.social•51 days ago

I'm still getting served quite a bit of American content but also it's just a lot of people asking where their views are coming from.

Also people celebrating the metric system.

chromaticgravity.bsky.social•51 days ago

fellow americans, do NOT be fooled. “new” tiktok will not be the same. it wouldn’t surprise me to see massive power grid failures, detonation of a device, and/or martial law within the next several days.

chromaticgravity.bsky.social•51 days ago

nancy66.bsky.social•51 days ago

I see a lot of people thinking TikTok will sell. So if you look at ownership of bytedance, 60% is global investors already. So they could play a paper shuffle game. Chinese companies own a lot in US. What the ban says is US has been doing it to other countries so…

audif1.bsky.social•51 days ago

Evidently they’re talking about us ~~~

gardensardency.bsky.social•51 days ago

What are they saying? Probably some really bad stuff about how we’re stupid for letting our government have so much power.

erikaj88.bsky.social•51 days ago

Americans are cowards myself included. We sit behind phone’s talking tough but never really do anything.

It’s true. Unfortunately. It’s because we’re all waiting for someone else to make a move and so nothing gets done. Probably because we know that the first person is the one in the most danger because the group isn’t there yet.

gardensardency.bsky.social•51 days ago

I saw someone probably in about September saying that the US isn’t ready for the revolution because we’re still too scared to risk our lives even though it’s bad. It needs to get to a point where it’s bad enough we’re too scared to live with those conditions.

Mostly empathic posts - we are appalled that 170 million people can be silenced with a flick of a switch

ashley-lynn.bsky.social•51 days ago

This is the scariest part.

maighdeann-roin.bsky.social•51 days ago

We watched the election, we know how close it was and how the loud mouth redhats are not representative of a majority of Americans. I'm sure some people are enjoying it, but most of what I've seen is solidarity with the US, and concern about what's next for all of us

audif1.bsky.social•51 days ago

The Australians are claiming they are doing really bad but good imitations of Americans and everyone is loving it ! We deserve it

theresa-tinney.bsky.social•51 days ago

Apparently there are already some nasty Americans misbehaving on rednote, and men acting like it's a damn dating site.. we are so embarrassing!

aparadisestill.bsky.social•51 days ago

I saw a post of a woman straddling a cybertruck waving the American flag and I wanted to die of secondhand embarrassment.

isoldrea.bsky.social•51 days ago

I knew it was only a matter of time 😢

wrexxy.bsky.social•51 days ago

That’s why I wish we could hive mind the LinkedIn and ruin corporate shit ;)

ignig.bsky.social•51 days ago

There are lots of Americans with a pathological need to harass and intimidate. They will always go where the people are so they can fill that need. They'll be all over Red Book before you know it.

jensepicjourney.bsky.social•51 days ago

See? We can’t have anything nice without a few gross people messing it up for the rest of us.

yo-no-ce.bsky.social•51 days ago

Ine thing about rednote you'll be booted out very fast.

m0onchild01.bsky.social•51 days ago

I saw some women wearing MAGA hats on it last night. WHY.

coloradogirl70.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was over on red book this morning and there were people from UK, Russia and Ireland all saying you can see our posts and profiles but it’s crazy quiet and the algorithm is not good.

baronessvonginger.bsky.social•51 days ago

Professor Neil posted a blue sky comment about that. Apparently it just looks like we are all ignoring our phones. None of our accounts disappeared. Everything‘s still there. Almost as though they are confident that it’s gonna come back on.

embryanne.bsky.social•51 days ago

Is he on here?

cataleya5.bsky.social•51 days ago

It will come back on. Trump will sign a 90 day extension. It feels wrong.

baronessvonginger.bsky.social•51 days ago

It does feel wrong. He started this fire and now is wanting to be the hero for putting it out.

dinosaur-nebula.bsky.social•51 days ago

I deleted my TT account in the final moments. If it's purchased by Meta, I wanted it to be my season finale.

donioverthemoon.bsky.social•51 days ago

There is not going to be a purchase anytime soon, especially not by meta. These purchases take forever to go thru. Like Twitter was 6months to a year

dinosaur-nebula.bsky.social•51 days ago

If it returns I have 30 days from yesterday to reactivate. 🤷🏼‍♀️

donioverthemoon.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yeah and I spoke too soon…probably already sold to Zuck. Things are so suspicious

dinosaur-nebula.bsky.social•51 days ago

I restored my account earlier today but I haven't looked yet. 👀

morrigan4.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was right there figuring out how to delete it all, and it went dark. My biggest regret is I waited too long

msrosie718.bsky.social•51 days ago

When it comes back, I will log on just long enough to delete my account

midwestislander.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was too busy getting all my information off of Meta 😩

georgia-love.bsky.social•51 days ago

Same, I have to keep Facebook to stay in touch with older family members, but as soon as I’m done teaching them how to use Bluesky I’m out. I already removed all permissions, added an ad blocker to my phone and pc. My poor TikTok account sitting there just ripe for someone to bot it up.

chromaticgravity.bsky.social•51 days ago

i will allow mine to live in limbo as a reminder.

chiroxy.bsky.social•51 days ago

Not seeing and hearing your voice hits kind of different

cataleya5.bsky.social•51 days ago

She can link her YouTube videos here. I just saw another content creator link his long morning YouTube video here. Followers only need to accept the “enable external media” prompt. Easy!

furbabyfoster.bsky.social•51 days ago

They have to be missing us.

maynorth.bsky.social•51 days ago

The vibe is different, not bad just off. I’m seeing a lot more Canadian and commonwealth content. People asking where to go from here/reintroducing to new viewers. A few last minute videos from Americans leaving. All the American videos so far are still there.

dupefortgaming.bsky.social•51 days ago

It's the same as every day.

sarahanddc.bsky.social•51 days ago

UK. Difficult to say after a few hours. Plus Sundays were already quiet. We can still see everything & we're being played all your TikToks as normal. We can comment+++ on them all too. It'll be by Wed that we'll see what's what ☹️

iridescentrey.bsky.social•51 days ago

It feels like my entire algorithm is going bonkers. It's a mix of old content from the US, a few foreign accounts saying it's so weird and quiet here, and content that was never relevant to my interests. It feels pointless to be there now, tbh.

windrushview.bsky.social•51 days ago

UK update
We are finding survivors!!! 🚨
That are in a VPN pocket

windrushview.bsky.social•51 days ago

Reporting from UK

Lots of ads. Its quiet very quiet 🥹

theryanbaker.bsky.social•51 days ago

I would imagine that even if this isn't temporary, they would still see existing American content for weeks on their FYP and eventually people in the UK will figure out that they can post their weird unseasoned beige food videos without being challenged by us Americans.

zarast.bsky.social•51 days ago

I woke up to a empty house and my people were gone 😭😭😭😭

jensepicjourney.bsky.social•51 days ago

Same

justdadmike.bsky.social•51 days ago

I’m guessing it might be a tad friendlier.

alexanderthesaint.bsky.social•51 days ago

Your Star Wars video with the message of hope was the last video I was able to watch on TikTok. Thank you for that!

sojjourner.bsky.social•51 days ago

That's the video I was watching when it went down. 🥺

thesarah.bsky.social•51 days ago

Damn it. I missed this video.

allisonj90.bsky.social•51 days ago

That video made me sob. I watched it many times. Today and tomorrow are very, very dark days for America.

emefff.bsky.social•51 days ago

I’m a US TikTok user, but this is how I imagine it was like…

chromaticgravity.bsky.social•51 days ago

hi-jones.bsky.social•51 days ago

The biggest difference I notice is the comment section on NFL and ESPN posts are way more misogynistic than they were before. The incel comments used to be suppressed on my feed and now they're at the top

sorahsuhng.bsky.social•51 days ago

This is exactly how it’s gonna come back, I guarantee it. It’s gonna be Shitter all over again.

hi-jones.bsky.social•51 days ago

I'm prepared to delete the app depending on how things go. Just holding off to keep my American friends updated on what's going on there 😔

fatguyinatruck.bsky.social•51 days ago

Hey look, the pop-up has now changed..

deathb4decafca.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yea, mine changed from last night but isn't that. Last night it mentioned Trump.

catswineverytime.bsky.social•51 days ago

I got that too....bet anything it's back before the day is done. True to form, we are nothing but an agent of chaos.

summerwitch.bsky.social•51 days ago

I just opened it and didn’t get a pop up. I can go to my profile and watch my videos but that’s it. Can’t change any settings or anything

fatguyinatruck.bsky.social•51 days ago

I was able to get back to my profile but didn't see anything on it, I tried to change my account to private and it would not let me

fatguyinatruck.bsky.social•51 days ago

I've heard that most of the bots have disappeared off the platform since it went dark in the US, almost as if all of those bots spreading propaganda were homegrown to begin with

isoldrea.bsky.social•51 days ago

Now that is telling

yo-no-ce.bsky.social•51 days ago

🤔🧐 that's interesting I wonder who's sever they were hosted on ..may be need in the future

jimgito.bsky.social•51 days ago

It’s been quite funny tbh … so many people making beans on toast 😂

poeticraven77.bsky.social•51 days ago

Some of my friends are saying it's pretty quiet over there and that they miss us
