I was a self proclaimed filmmaker and social commentator on tiktok, made a following of 800+ users by reporting things as they were happening… alot of peoples lives were changed because of tiktok, the platform had 2.05 billion users…

I wasn’t an avid tiktok user but idk why people have to dunk on others using it. It was a source of income and it helped small businesses and upcoming artists.

This is a great take, thank you. I've never posted a vid on TT but I was a long time watcher and it was nice to have an algorithm much like it is here. You keep getting with what you interact with.

It's fine if you didn't "get" tiktok or whatever. I haven't used it in months (because once the ban conversation STARTED I stopped wanting to put any effort in there) But just because it's not your cup of tea doesn't make it any LESS useful than Bluesky is or Twitter was

A lot of the takes are clearly from people who never used the app or barely used it, since the consensus from them tends to be "it's just brain rot dance memes" And, it's really not, and maybe that's actually a reflection of what kind of stuff you sought on there.

A lot of different experiences to be had. A lot of educators. a LOT of activists. People who really know their shit. Dara Starr Tucker, Levert the Bassman, EVN the Bioethicist, Cannon's Fodder, Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't, Mercury Stardust, Pearlmania500, etc. etc. A lot of perspectives

I get that too, but I actually don’t think it’s much different than twitter at this point. If they “save it” we are going to need people to migrate off of it anyway to divest from trump and his bs oligarchy crew.
