I hope you stay here. The obsequious pandering has turned me right off TT and I’m not going back. TT account being sent to oblivion, the same way as my meta accounts.
I'm glad it's back up and glad creators are able to post and interact with communities again, but I do not trust #47 as far as I could throw him to not renege on this; especially since his executive order (8/6/20) was the first domino for the ban legislation.
I get that the people making money from tiktok want to return to it. But it isn't safe now. Be forewarned to choose your words carefully and never, ever say anything negative about the king. He'll take your head.
I'm not opening it. This all stinks of mind control and abuse of power. I know how hard it is for large creators who literally pay their bills bc of tiktok. But me personally, I know today we woke up in a new world, it is now felontok.
No. Just because you can click the button and it looks like TikTok does not mean it's the TikTok we used to do. The TikTok we used to know is dead. You can call the new one TruthTok or maybe TrumpTok, but it's not our TikTok.
I deleted Instagram the other day. I kept FB because I'm a board member for a non-profit and need it for updating BUT it and messenger are no longer on my phone. Once I get all my recipes off TT I will be deleting that account now, too
I don’t think I can go back to TikTok after this 🥹😭 going back is giving them what they want. They clearly ruined the app. That want to destroy everything we love and have the audacity to gaslight and manipulate us into thinking is for our own good when is all about power, control and money
So we all just going to slink back after they told us all to f*** off.. didn't even give us to midnight.
I think I'm going to be losing a lot of respect for a lot of ppl today
Agreed. Wtf was the last week and a half of rallying against the oligarchs just to go crawling back? Trying to balance this with understanding ppls livelihoods are at stake, but still. Shit man.
Like, this feels shady. Idk. I want it but I got real red flags now. It's a feeling like catching your bff talking shit on you, they apologize but you just can't shake the "off" feeling.
I will follow you on all other platforms but I am never going back to TikTok because of this. I am sorry. I know how that algorithm has helped you creators in ways other socials don’t but… I can’t. It feels evil and tainted now.
I deleted my TikTok today. The whole thing just left me feeling physically ill. It's like being in a toxic relationship. I won't do it. I don't need it.
My uneducated guess is they were probably losing money by blocking all of us and thats why it came back so fast? Maybe there's another reason, but whatever the reason, im ok with them continuing to lose money for a while longer. FAFO ya know?
I won’t be going back to TT after they praised Trump so much, but I hope you continue to do well over there Jordan. Keep spreading the truth and uplifting hearts.
This is what abusers do, they find out what matters to you and they weaponize it. They let us know they can take it any time By not going back I'm taking their power away,from me at least. I'm sure they won't notice my departure but I'll feel better about myself and standing on my principles
