I'm sure this is one of the reasons why many folks are joining fedi today. Welcome, glad to see you here! 👋

Hello, I'm Wissam, a 32 year old carpenter from France. I'm a #tiktokrefugee and not yet an #instagramrefugee but hopefully soon. I'm sick of all the attention seeking publicity on a platform where money is the only language it speaks. I'm glad I found Mastodon.

I'm interested in mountains, nature-related topics, self-sufficiency, DIY, gardening and obviously beards.

I hope to connect with like-minded people and have a healthier, more interesting relationship with social media.

Cheers 😊

- I’m hella queer (they/them pronouns if you’re wondering!)
- I’m an indie author most known for my obsession with solarpunk. (If you don’t know what that is, please ask!)

Liking a post let's the post author know that it prompted a reaction from you. It made you think. Made you smile. Made you roll on the floor laughing. Made you cry. Gave you hope. Made your day better in some way. Prompted you to imagine a different way of being. Anything, really.
Like posts all the time.

#FediHelp #HowToMastodon #Welcome #TikTokRefugee

Looking for a Mastodon video feed? Well….its not TikTok, but if you are on a Mastodon instance with enhanced search enabled, you can see a video timeline.

Try entering the phrase (order matters here) into your search bar.

has:video -is:sensitive #CatsOfMastodon

Change the hashtag to whatever your interest.

Sigh. Maybe yall can liven it up a bit. Without a way for content creators to get paid, it’s not going to happen here.

newbie here! have left all meta socials some time ago and now a #tiktokrefugee. nice to meet you 🙋‍♀️ #letsbefriends

what tv shows are you watching rn?

My daughter came into the room distraught and bemused by #TikTok going dark. She knew it was coming, but still...a lot of GenZ are feeling kind of rootless, like a personal landmark was pointlessly destroyed by govt who clearly give no fucks about actual data security, or these laws would have applied to all the American data harvesting commercial social media platforms.

And I, being an old, and having seen many things come and go since the days of blue boxes and usenet, tried to sympathize...but she rightfully pointed out that none of those things were legislated out of business. This is different. This is government deliberately controlling speech and demanding the sale of private property. Using the same canards they've been using her whole life: It's national security. It's for your own good. You can't see proof, it's classified.

She's right, it's nonsense.

The vibe here is way different, I don't know if we'll see an influx of #tiktokrefugee, but welcome if you're here!

My question is how these US folks DID NOT know all this. I dwelled in English medium Internet all my life until recently. I have known all of this waaaaaay before the 小红书 (Little Red Book) wave. The Internet isn't walled for the Americans? And yet, the Chinese who are behind the Great Firewall knows more about American politics…. a mystery for the ages.

PS: There are folks from China who use VPN to access English social media.
