Maybe, people shouldn’t worry about TiKTok. They should worry about their health and fitness first.

Well tik tok had a huge sector in health and fitness so….

Social media has never been good for us. I hope it all goes away.

What TikTok enthusiasts are feeling is withdrawal. Withdrawal is a symptom of addiction. Leave it behind and let it go.

Bridget would rather the social media company curate the news information rather than the people who live in the world It’s something to think about

I totally agree with all points Bridget has made. I feel the same exact way. People assume it’s just another social but it’s been way more than that. It’s literally been my source of information. My google so to say. It never pushed an agenda on my feed. How I interacted with content is what it showed me. Whether that was cat videos, to fixing cars, to recipes, to the craziness that happened the first week of this year, to the LA fires. It kept us informed. It wasn’t just an entertainment app.

TikTok: national security, blame Biden and his terrible censorship regime
Twitter: with ???? free speech and the end of censorship got restored

The social psychology of it all is astounding when you think of radio then tv and all the clashes that happened as a result of new technology… cyclical. Also tik tok is back lol

I say, have a personal blog to share your life instead of using a social media app or network which may censor you

“the top port is definitely not for docking” – says to me : “I don’t have kids using this.”
my kids broke a switch by trying to play it while plugged in (to charge), but resting it on the cable (which put pressure on the bottom port, breaking it).
just being able to play this while charging, with a cable on top – is a huge relief to me.
