I've feared Tik Tok too, but purely because I was afraid I'd become hopelessly addicted. Now I'm feeling like I very much missed out, and a little bit sad.
I do have it so I can open things people send me, mainly clients (I'm a therapist). I do think there's some danger in so many arm chair experts about, but I've been surprised to find that there's also a lot of really good and interesting reflection and info, particularly from folks who are underrepresented or ignored by the mental health field. And sure, I've had to navigate a few iffy Tik Tok self diagnoses, but whenever a client says, "I saw this Tik Tok and I think I'm xyz", I'm like, send it to me. This is one way of explaining how they feel or what they're experiencing. And that's helpful. I'm going to miss that, for them and for me.
blessed we were all able to be alive and together at a time when social media wasn't about algorithms curating feeds.
laughing at the idea that when we die and we stand before god at the pearly gates and he asks you if you've been a good or bad person and you go "i've been a good person" and he goes "okay well let's go through your tik tok algorithm history for minute"
kinda sad i never got into tik tok. thinking about jumping on and just going HAM with it this weekend until it gets nuked.

The hydraulic press videos are so wonderful and relaxing and I love when they pop up in my Instagram feed.
Honest question: why, when they crush either a bunch of grapes OR flowers, do they exploded with that vapor?!
