TikTok is no longer home
To me it feels like an older brother taking your favorite toy from you, then giving it back a bit beaten up, a little broken, expecting you thank him for being kind enough to give it back, while also reminding you that he can take it away again.
I have been blocking bible sales, bleach blond right winged barbies, and Charlie Kirk and others like him. My block button has gotten quite a work out last night.
I want to say more but who knows who is able to see this post that works for Patreon. I just don't really trust anything online anymore and thats sad.
I am on BlueSky, Youtube, and even Tumblr of all places. Or if you are into dress up games and other fun stupid stuff, I am on gaiaonline. My avi is a hot demon chick lol. Girls are more fun to dress up than boys. Fight me.
But yeah, I'm paranoid af about everything now. Stay safe out there.

Also, I meant to ask this before the app went whack a doodle, but will you be doing any other places but Michigan?
Will you be selling on flip?
I agree with an ongoing theory that the 'shutdown' was a cover for an unpleasant update. I've already found all my favorites elsewhere, so I think I'll just let TT go.
I still gotta go follow some friends, and I am going to spend the next 90 so days trying to get people to follow me elsewhere.
I agree with your entire post. And I completely forgot about Gaiaonline. I loved that and can't believe I forgot it existed. Maybe I'll get back on now. Also yes girls are more fun to dress up. No fighting necessary
Yeah, I’ve dipped on pretty much all social media at this point except YouTube and supporting you & Jaysea here in the little way I can. Remember to protect your peace as best you can. I know social media is often a necessity for many so may you find the spaces that feed you rather than harm.
With what the day is, I hope you’re able to give Zelda some extra cuddles! I have a feeling that the conversation around the change in the clock app (because a lot of us knew this was coming) will be coming out in the coming days
I agree. It feels way off. ( Hey, I can comment on this one!) I will still doomscroll the clock app but, I won't be adding anything new. Bluesky and YouTube are my new hangouts. Please stay safe everyone.
I play a Supermarket Simulation game on my phone and I caught myself saying funny things out loud to the "customers". Not that what I just said has any relevance to your post. I am just wanting to bring fun and levity to stressful times because I care about people and I like making people happy.
I appreciate it lol.
It definitely feels off. I think paranoia given current times is absolutely acceptable and normal. It's an ugly world.
Tiktok is no longer a safe space for alot of people I know. I am glad we have other places to connect as a community
