I only used tik tok on occasion. Didn’t really have a following there. I built up my platform on instagram mostly by looking for like minded moms and anyone else really, that wanted to help create change and protect our rights and our democracy.

However, tik tok should not be banned and I understand why people are upset. The income loss for people. The communities that people built. The stories that were told and the lives that were changed. It is something to mourn.
I do however, feel that it is not gone forever. I feel that Trump absolutely will “save” it to make him look as if he is a hero to many younger Americans.
Maybe he thinks that people won’t fight back as much when he starts doing what he actually plans to do (project 2025). Even though, he was the one that wanted it banned in the first place for “national security”.
I don’t like also making assumptions, but if the rumors are true that Tik tok may be bought by Meta, the implications of this happening is huge. Almost all social media platforms will be owned by right wing billionaires. Like president Biden said, this is a creation of an oligarchy.
This is dangerous. It almost feels like they are creating a state controlled media since all the tech billionaires have ties in with the government. (Please correct me if I am wrong here).
Our voices may be silenced even further if we are in opposition and we don’t bend the knee to the crown of the Trump oligarchy. It feels very fash-y and not great.
I know it's too much work to manage several accounts, but I look forward to the day you can hopefully transfer content here! Thank you for all of your hard work!
I am a nobody who barely had any followers and had a private account 🤯
I miss seeing your updates. The Sarasota protest videos were so encouraging. I hope more accounts take the plunge and transfer here. We need to take the reins of free speech IMO.
My account was suspended on Instagram. For sharing an article about Mu$k's involvement/interest in the elections in Germany. It was an MSNBC article and I was suspended within 30 seconds of sharing it. The censorship there runs so much deeper than people realize. I wasn't prepared for that..
