Please be kind. Thanks 💕

Hey honey, there is no need to be rude. It’s not unrealistic that people used tiktok for a lot of things. I loved the app, very much so. I built a lot on it. Please be respectful. I never came at you with malice. And it has been devastating that our data and our content being used for the oligarchs

Yessss. Lead singer of the band @arinthiaband.bsky.social

💕 We will be taking it old school from now on.

I feel you there. And I won’t be trying to compromise myself to that degree. Especially those within my band as well. TT is not a safe platform anymore. And maybe hasn’t been for a while. It’s just so weird not being able to scroll and see things nearly at the same level now.

I feel you on this so much! I had three accounts, one personal, one my business and one was my band that was doing well. Now it’s just…. All gone. All my content I spent years creating. I still haven’t been able to delete the app yet.. I will though. At some point.

I hope so too! That’s what I’ve been telling myself that I’m sure something will come along!

Does changing the application settings make it so you can use it and it’ll help bypass the TOS?

I am so sorry.. I haven’t deleted it yet. I am so devastated in losing my three accounts. I feel so lost today.

Oh no. Is that what most of the feed has become? I feel like it is going to turn into Clapper.

Yes, this is different. Most apps are selling our data, but most apps aren’t collecting the information listed. If, waves wildly, all of this wasn’t happening, I would be shocked a legal team approved this.

Oh my gosh I was just saying this. Losing tiktok was like losing a friend. We are totally isolated now. It was a platform that I felt validated, made friends, and learned so much.. I’m devastated

Oh yes, I had three accounts! My business, Band and personal. I just lost every bit of content that I’ve been making for six years. I’m devastated. But I won’t agree to those TOS.

Thank you! Yeah I threw accounts, a personal, business (11.5k followers) and my bands tiktok that was starting to take off. I’m genuinely devastated. But the TOS is a nightmare. And it’s not worth selling mine and my bands mates info too. No thank you.

"status as transgender"

Ive been telling people: ICE will be used to go after us trans

Yeah I think a lot of us are forfeiting tiktok now.
The especially scary part is “immigration status and transgender status.” Really scares me the information they are trying to collect now.

I feel very lost today too. I’m mourning it. I can’t get into any of my content that I’ve made the last 6 years.
I’m devastated. Genuinely. I am sorry you’re feeling lost 🥺

I really wish I could use skylight. It WILL not let me log in at all. Ever. It’s really frustrating.
