      This totally sounds like a “we’re dying and we’re taking you down with us” move lol. It’s not like any ex-tiktokers are going to create Facebook pages after leaving.

    Can’t wait for TikTok to cement itself as countercultural. It doesn’t matter how much money Facebook spends. They will always be boomer shit

      Can’t wait for a more privacy friendly tiktok alternative (if people want to use a service like tiktok anyway)

        I know peertube exists as a federated YouTube, but it seems like streaming video is still prohibitively expensive for most independent groups

      I don’t mind countercultural but TikTok right now is controlled by US. China only have power over chinese version of TikTok which is Douyin.
