It’s kinda sad seeing everyone say their goodbyes to their audience on TikTok :C I remember how that was for me on Twit back when and it sucks. It’s sad and as a creator, it’s also scary. I hope people can find a new online home. - ThreadSky

Also thanks to everyone who came and followed me again on here after I deleted Twitter. After I deleted Insta. After I deleted Tumblr, after I deleted all the fucking socials I have been building on for years. 🧡

It’s worse for the TT guys tho because for them it’s not even by choice.

Nature abhors aVacuum. Something will rise up to
replace it. I read some younger folk are going all Chinese to “Red Flag” their X.

kimhu.bsky.social•39 days ago

Something will. But as someone who’s done the transition before you will inevitably lose audience and it is a hard time.

tiktok was the only platform my art ever got any views on, it’s really frustrating that the only place where small artists had a chance is getting shut down, i can’t imagine how all the ppl who made their livelihoods on there feel rn :(

It’s devastating! This was Twitter for me and there was a point where I was scared and a little desperate ngl
I am glad bluesky grew and grows the way it did, but it wasn’t guaranteed.

Ngl TikTok was the only place showing my stuff to anyone consistently and uhh it feels pretty bad. Thanks for the solidarity though. Most folks are just giving us shit.

kimhu.bsky.social•39 days ago

You people deserve so much better! I was never an active TT poster, just a lurker. But I was a Twitter main and both TT and twit got murdered before their time ://

I know redbull is gonna post elsewhere but I REALLY loved their slope sports stuff in between the fun car videos people did of their projects and aquarium hobbyists showing off their wet pets. I’m never gonna be able to see the stuff I like in that form factor ever again and it’s so upsetting.

kimhu.bsky.social•39 days ago

Rednote is a little like that, but I doubt many/most of the western companies will go there. So yeah, it sucks. This is like twitter‘s death all over and people splintering up and going many different places. :7

I don't support the TikTok ban but if Suckerberg comes in and buys it at the last minute, I hope the exodus continues. My wife already thinks he'll be Trump's solution to save it which would make Meta and X both de facto Trump propaganda machines.

He's tightening his grip.

kimhu.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah fuck that. The last thing we need are more meta apps.

jpegnova.bsky.social•39 days ago

i just think of how the artist community of TT will be affected, TT was mostly used as a steady source of comms and income with twit being in the lead, with those two gone it srsly affected artists and how they can really make a living, i’ll never understand the TT ban at all

kimhu.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah, it’s really ass that they took these two from us. Really, really sucks. Without bluesky, I wouldn’t have known where to go :7

jpegnova.bsky.social•39 days ago

i’m liking Bsky more than twit for sure, it’s more positive and less hate here, i feel like you can connect with artists more :P

they were killed off too soon, they had such great potential as well

lilachysteria.bsky.social•39 days ago

it fills me with so much anger at how much we’re being driven from our online homes by tech oligarchs. i know sites have died before but the death of twitter and tiktok feels like a new type of internet death.

kimhu.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah, that’s just it- sites can die organically, but those two especially were killed.

alfie.photography•39 days ago

Remembering Google Plus and feeling for these folks. Never even got to say goodbye. One day Google just deleted the whole thing. 2,000,000 followers down the pan. Nothing to do but just get on and rebuild somewhere else. But I’ve always had my own websites. And I control those.

grigorylukin.bsky.social•39 days ago

For me, it's like Nintendo Wii - I missed the entire thing, from start to finish. 😮

themininoob.bsky.social•39 days ago

I don't like tik tok at all, but banning it in this so called "free" country is bullshit

kimhu.bsky.social•39 days ago

Yeah, I was never an active poster. But I can relate, because twitter was my home and it’s death was also forced like this.
