I keep trying to open TikTok out of pure habit and getting slapped with this

Comments

Suggestion from @enby-therapist.bsky.social was to move the app icon to a different place on your device. I moved something else into that place and that has been helpful too.

I'm doing the same. It's become so natural for it to be the first app I open when I go into my socials folder. 😭

wolfsbanecreates.bsky.social•38 days ago

Same! I'm at work and keeping opening it out of habit and see the notification for my best friends last message on there that I don't get to see now. It's so cruel

stealthysquid.bsky.social•38 days ago

It's a mourning ritual 🥲

I lost TikTok /and/ Tumblr because the VPN I was using to see if i could get on TikTok with it glitched and made my Tumblr account get deleted 😔 keep trying to open both to no avail lmao

tarielven.bsky.social•38 days ago

Not going to be the same without you all.

mydragonflydust.bsky.social•38 days ago

Same. And it sounds like this is a one-way lockout. International ppl are still able to view our content. This sucks.

stealthysquid.bsky.social•38 days ago

That's interesting, did a mutual tell you that or did you see it online somewhere?

mydragonflydust.bsky.social•38 days ago

Heard it from a creator I follow.

stealthysquid.bsky.social•38 days ago

Well then, I guess on the bright side we'll maybe have a bunch of notifications to come back to when/if it comes back up? That's bizarre though.

I had a UK friend check, my and another American friend’s accounts are still there!

stealthysquid.bsky.social•38 days ago

That's so weird, so the American servers hosting our stuff are still hosting, access is just being blocked to Americans. My understanding of computer/internet tech is mediocre at best but that's def not how I expected them to implement the shutdown.

mydragonflydust.bsky.social•38 days ago

Ugh I should have privated my acct! At least I turned off downloads & limited the comments to "Friends Only" before TT went.

It's them mentioning the Orange One for me 🤢

yayahoopla.bsky.social•38 days ago

vixensheart.bsky.social•38 days ago

You and me both 😫😫😫

sarabi-reads.bsky.social•38 days ago

Same! 😭

eclecticsiren.bsky.social•38 days ago

I specifically removed it from my home screen so I couldn't easily click it out of habit. Replaced it with REDnote. End of an era, truly 💔

I’m not American, but I’m a bit worried with most of my American followers. My only concern is my TT collections.

genie05.bsky.social•38 days ago

i tried to look up a meme because we we're sharing those in a server i'm in. took the link that took me to tiktok, even though i had checked an hour or two prior to see if i could access it...

lunette-the-bard.bsky.social•38 days ago

Same. I put a book where I usually rest my phone to make myself read a couple of pages instead. It's...kinda working.

pkay32.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yeah. This is the worst. I’m glad you are over here tho! I hope my other favorite creators migrate over. I’ve also completely deleted all meta apps out of pure spite.
