Im not sure what you mean by this. They regularly use all of these services except maybe the library…

Ironic……..

Equating that to taking offense is either disingenuous or just flat out stupid - you decide which feels right to you.

Ignorance is bliss or whatever. Never *really* trusted that anything was secure or not being weaponized but now I cant even gaslight myself. 🥲

Well aware, but thank you. But there is also obviously a reason they want TikTok to be US-owned and it is almost certainly data-related.

K, here! 34. Currently reading Vengeful by V.E. Schwab and Limitarianism The Case Against Extreme Wealth by Ingrid Robeyns

Oh for sure! I deleted my FB account and deleted Insta at least for a time (I use it to keep up with local shops/artists so trying to find a solution for that 😭 - hoping they trickle here)

Manipulative at best. We don’t really know what happened behind the scenes. Will our data on tiktok now be used against us? How can we ever trust the app again?

Exactly! I think anyone outside of the Republican party should be INCREDIBLY wary about using the app now. How can we ever feel confident that our information isn’t being shared with the government now?

What’s that skill set? Because so far it seems like “being an elitist” and “shitting on apps I never used because big media corporations and all my other elitist pals told me to hate them” are the only unique skills I’m seeing here.

Might be slowly coming back. I couldn’t see anything 20 min ago but can now. Not sure we should trust it though. Feels weird.

It’s also ironic that they are saying it openly to people who came from TikTok to this app. Like are they not reading on this app now showing that they’re fully capable of it?

Seriously. I’m already exhausted by the weird “elitist” tone being taken by a lot of users here. It’s like they read one NYT opinion piece on how TT is bad and now they’re “experts” who think the app was entirely trash.

Do we think any of them will finally learn that he’s a grifter? Or will they quadruple-down and make more excuses for him after he robs them blind?

And that’s the power of algorithms. We’re definitely not all seeing that.

People were really gaining consciousness on TikTok and then we come here and everybody acts like ha ha isn’t it funny you all watched videos and we read!?!? 😴😴😴😴💤💤💤💤💤💤💤

I don’t think anyone’s getting truly offended. it’s just simply not a boring joke, considering the circumstances that we find ourselves in. Why are we making fun of TikTok users and not bullying the oligarchy? It’s blatantly becoming a priorities issue. Blue sky optics are: ambivalence.

And that is precisely why I feel that you’re missing the point. Both Twitter users and TikTok users ultimately came here because a couple of asshole billionaires ruined both of them.
