The number of times I rewatched "The Untamed" is rivaled only by the number of times I rewatched "The Good Place" so...
The first post I saw on TT today was an Australian I follow(ed) talking about how he's intrigued & excited to see what it's going to be like now that they don't have Americans taking up all the attention. The post before it? Thanking Americans for making his account so successful. Interesting.

oof I just had a conversation with a friend who was like "I know Meta is evil but having to care about things I can't change is tiring so you should just join IG and not worry so much" - um, babes, our families survived the Holocaust and you're telling me to comply in advance??

Unfortunately, it's always a logistical nightmare outside the Capital One Arena. I've been in the wristband line for a Kpop show that notoriously included a security guard getting hit with a folding chair.

I just spent 20 minutes trying to explain to my husband why the TikTok ban is A Big Deal but he experienced it through me, not firsthand. He still thinks he doesn't know anything from TikTok

"Hey, remember when quarantine started? What was everyone doing?"

"Making sourdough"

"Yeah, that's Tiktok"

The handful of non-American accounts I followed didn't have any accounts on other platforms. I wonder if the comments I left show up on their posts? It sounds silly but I don't want them to think a big part of their audience just abandoned them.
Genuinely eerie scrolling TikTok right now.

As a Canadian I’m still being served videos from U.S. creators who can’t access the app anymore

Feels like a ghost town, it’s so weird!!!!

My husband just yelled from the bathroom "DID YOU HEAR THEY BANNED TIKTOK?"

Ok weirdly enough I think I can go to bed before 4 AM and probably do some homework tomorrow. Not sure what that's about...

Honestly, I should have expected that bluesky would suddenly become a busy little beehive once TikTok shuttered. All these accounts with a bunch of posts from the last couple of hours, then one from a month ago.

One thing I wish TikTok would've copied just as a little goodbye treat is something like the Wrapped that Spotify sets up at the end of the year, but it would've been a review of all the highly specific interests, weird products I tabbed in the TikTok shop, viral soundbites, all of it.

I will stop talking about TikTok at some point but it's not this one. Something I valued was the way platform updates generally made the UX better (except eliminating pinned comments), which hadn't been my overall experience with other major platforms. Case in point: www.koreaboo.com/lists/instag...

The last comment I left on TikTok was on the post where someone figured out the rhythm that CBAT guy must have used and I wrote that the TikTok algorithm was so good that it answered a question I'd forgotten to ask. Cutting it early was unnecessarily cruel.
January 19, 2025 at 5:19 AM
For me, the last couple of minutes on TikTok were saying goodbye to Yvannabee, thanking the woman who sells nail honey for restocking the day before the app closed & she said "you're welcome", an answer to how he used the beat from CBAT, and @goodtrouble42069.bsky.social saying "Don't close the app"

Let's make a deal to stop giving money & power to the lamest tech overlords. Seriously, Walking Trapezoid, Sweet Baby Ray's Fan Page Admin, and Jeff Bezos (derogatory) can take a short walk off a long pier into a pod of vengeful orcas. Bluesky or bust. TikTok taught me it's more fun together ^_^

ok so I get it, if you already have an account on IG, FB, or Twitter that's been established for a while, you're staying there. AT THE SAME TIME, these are the people who killed TikTok, one of the last fun places. Giving them your data and time is letting the enemy win.
January 18, 2025 at 9:15 PM
I understand why there's no widget on TikTok for me to collect all the stuff I want to save, like saving all of the songs I tabbed directly to my Spotify or download all 1k videos in my likes or find ever blue sky account from the accounts I follow, but it would have been nice...

NGL I was kinda hoping for a Trump to pull a William Henry Harrison, if you know what I mean...
Trump moved his inauguration indoors because he claims temperatures may reach "severe record lows," with temperatures in the 20s (those temps are nowhere near record lows).

Other presidents have held inaugurations outdoors with temperatures in the 20s, including FDR, Jimmy Carter, JFK, and Obama.
January 18, 2025 at 7:42 PM
Who else is here frantically saving all of the songs they favorited on TikTok but never got around to saving to Spotify or YouTube or whatever?
January 18, 2025 at 6:58 PM
Well, I just finished crying in my car after realizing TikTok goes dark in 12 hours. Five years of interests, favorites, follows, learning, & just silly fun erased in an instant. Tom Cotton should expect a lot of voicemails from me for the foreseeable future.

One thing I've been doing to stave off the depression is looking up who in Congress has a business and if their tenure in politics has been awful or decent. That way, I can stop giving money to people who suck and patronize businesses owned by people who don't. First on the YES List is David Trone:

Man, looking at the list of Korean live shows I've attended feels weird. Like I want to airdrop a survey at the next TXT show and see if anyone else was at SMTown 2012 or went to the Wonder Girls tour. I can't be the only one, right?? RIGHT????
