-He made his own Congress TikTok ban supporters look like fools.
-He jerked the people around.
-He brings chaos & instability because he doesn't understand details & effects.
-He's treating us all like he's producing a trashy bad reality TV show instead of governing FOR, not against people.
Or he is trying to win over the “youth” like any other fascist leader. We really need to decide if he’s a buffoon or a mastermind and view him through 1 cohesive lens to fight back effectively. Personally, I agree w/Rex Tillerson but I’m nobody.
Among my favorite accounts on TT were the Oxford College Maths Dept., Dr. Melanie Matheu’s discussions of immunology, Jon Arovosis’ talks on Russia, and the art history & music accounts.The STEM tab was *nerd heaven*. To learn from so many brilliant scholars in virtual classrooms (lives) was a joy.
It has to be wonderful though as you’re not allowed to criticise the Chinese government. I just find it weird. China wants to bring down the U.S. so why help it if what all governments are saying is true. They’re not allies.
I have more reasons to criticize our own government than the Chinese government. My data currently is for sale on the dark web thanks to American companies.
There are many ways to permanently disable cookies etc., on sites you visit. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way for the lovely people of C. That is not an option for them.
Anyway, it’s my opinion as it is yours. 👍
There are warnings in Europe as well, we’ve been warned, in fact government officials are not allowed to download it.
I am hoping they get rid of it too.
Well when I researched what companies are there I found that Triller is an American company, so no Chinese government spying or stealing your data.
In fact the CEO is an ex TikTok executive.
There's alot of them going over to Tumbler because of their "LOOSER" rules than here and ease in posting short format content. BlueSky is missing out if they don't fix this sooner.
I am a TikTok refugee, but I followed you here from Twitter. And believe me, there will be plenty of TikTok-ers who will be looking for you. Also lots of folks fleeing META too.
Glad we welcome people escaping authoritarian sourced app to come here to a mostly American-woman run open source algorithm agnostic platform!
Increasing the video length will add context and reduce fighting over our assumptions from lack of context from our prejudices,fears & fantasies.
Nor true, I followed you before this whole mess. I trust no one on TT right now other than a few thought leaders I follow and the people coming back with healthy skepticism.
I think the people here who don't use TT don't understand the algorithm. My TT is all politics. Once in a while, they throw me a cat video. My daughter, well, hers is all reality TV and funny stuff. I think they assume everyone's is like my daughters.
Nah, I can confirm you were legendary on that app. All my videos providing updates from your work leading up to Nov 5 received the highest views, reposts, and comments.
All love and respect for you and your team.

Trump will strike a deal that all data TicToc China collects on us is handed over to HIM. It will be a win-win for him. He looks like a hero and spies on Americans at the same time.
I haven’t seen China use anything I tell them against me through TikTok. I have seen meta sell me out to Cambridge Analytica without my permission to use against me. That’s when I deleted meta accounts. TikTok as we knew it, is gone. Deleting that account after the data strike this week.
TikTok about to be bought up like Twitter, except this go the goal is to let it thrive for propaganda not kill it. Can’t wait to see how Mark & Elon piece it out.
YES! I’m older, but I love TikTok. There are some amazing people on there and they have built incredibly strong communities. Don’t underestimate them. 💜💙💜
Silly Marc Elias. I have been watching your for a long time, posting your YouTube channel videos clips on Tik Tok all throughout the General Election season.
@marcelias.bsky.social could you please ask your followers to change their profile picture tomorrow to MLK to show unified opposition in big numbers and add the MLK JR quote “there is no peace without justice”. Let’s give equality attention and starve Trump of it.
Hi Mark, I’m a #TikTokRefugee & I love it here. I’ve been on the app since it popped up, and I think you’re really gonna like it here. Also, Skylight will hopefully become available for us soon as well.
They're already migrating elsewhere cuz the oldsters stunk it up.
We're too behind to realize tik tok is all muddied up by corp thieves. We'll figure it out in about a year as kids mock us - as they should.
Do not be fooled!! Trump wants the US Government (Trump Admininistration) to own 50% and then give the other 50% to other tech giants like Musk and Zuckerberg. Essentially State-run media by the Trump oligarchy! Biden warned us in his farewell address!
People are switching to Rednote, and they like it. They are called TikTok refugees and are very welcome.
I don't think many will switch back once Cheeto does his "heroic saving".
My daughter set up my red note account today. I've been on there for the last hour and a half. They're opening their homes, showing us their lives. And the questions going back and forth are so interesting. What they're curious about, what we're curious about. It's an online cultural exchange.
I've been on red note for about a week now and it's fantastic, I won't be going back to tiktok. Especially since this is what I got after it came back up, along with all the meta ads and connections now.
Question: Will lawsuits against executive orders have an impact? Can every employee file a lawsuit seeking asylum? Can we clog the courts for four years or will the ICE agents have full autonomy?

This whole “national security” trope is a red herring. And we ain’t buying it
I am hoping they get rid of it too.
2. A big middle finger to the clueless politicians who did this to us, and
3. Red Note is AMAZING.
A complete *pleasant* surprise. Hilarious, nice, interesting users. Very welcoming. Worth a look

I’m a refugee… love your stuff.
Thanks for always standing in the breech to stop fascism & cruelty!
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻💙💙💙
All I got, not one thank you btw, just no "I lost ALL my friends" or "I lost all my friends and our favorite hangout" and just snarky mean stuff. SMH
Please look for me! I'm under a pile of all of the people I don't know yet!;))
All love and respect for you and your team.

I need to get hold of you about your cars extended warranty.
Good morning Marc!
That was a serious question. I’m confused.
We're too behind to realize tik tok is all muddied up by corp thieves. We'll figure it out in about a year as kids mock us - as they should.
What they need in their lives is a bit of you!
Especially now!
for now?

It isn’t good.
Keep your ear to the rails man .

The only TT to which I can relate, was the theme to the Late Late Show (by Leroy Anderson). I engage here, too.
