Delete your #TikTok accounts and uninstall IMMEDIATELY

@Durrell Tiktok sucks. It does not work right in Firefox.

Me too, Social media HAS to change, but perhaps in such a way when young people are ready to sign up there is a good-informed set of choices.

I just wonder what about other social apps, like reddit, Instagram... Etc

@Durrell ...do real people use tiktok still? asking for a friend.

[durrell@mastodon.social]

@tehdeminz.bsky.social You're not wrong. Every social media platform is deeply invasive. My problem is with the new owners And How deeply intertwined they are with the administration and the very specific TOS they launched last night

But you got to do what's best for you

[durrell@mastodon.social]

A workaround to delete your #TikTok account without accepting the new TOS.

1. Turn off your phones wifi/data

2. Open app and click settings

3. Go to account page

4. Turn wifi back on

5. Delete account

The TOS popup won't appear when the internet is off. Being on the account tab prevents it.

@dagb @ReggieHere @Durrell you can follow people on tt. It has two timeline views, one with the content of people you follow and one that is algo generated (For You page)

[dagb@snabelen.no]

@dorian Aha, I did not know you can follow others.

@skynebula @Durrell @aral looks like a wonderful opportunity to delete all of them then 🙂

[ericphelps@mastodon.social]

@Durrell Am I missing something? They get your clipboard contents when you copy and paste into the app. Isn't that how the clipboard works?

And pretty much everything else there sounds like what Facebook does. What's really different?

Mind you, I deleted Facebook and WhatsApp long ago for this kind of stuff. But most people don't care.
