TikTok holdouts

[Anonymous]

I am not on social media. No tiktok nothing meta. Not twitter. Nothing.

I absolutely love tiktok. It's easily the best social media app. It's also a tool of cultural destruction brought here by China to weaken our culture and corrupt our children. So I can't watch it anymore.

I feel like most people have transitioned away from Facebook.

A lot of moms are still on Facebook. I thankfully never got into it.

I have FB and like the private boards as an information sharing tool. We have a couple neighborhood FB pages that are very helpful. I also have joined recently parent pages of the schools my teen has been accepted to.

Facebook is useful for groups, but I just don't want to use it.

TikTok is the future. It just is. Sorry peeps are so scared of it.

Nah. My college aged kid is more negative about Tik Tok than I am, and I hate it.

Anyone actually join after holding out and have thoughts and feedback about your experience? I wonder if it is inevitable that we will all be on TikTok at some point anyway.

It's a good bet that the Chinese already have a lot of my data, but I'm not going to download their app and just hand it over. My spouse and I don't have TikTok and we don't allow our kids to have it either.

TikTok is poison. Bad health advice, bad mental health advice, amateur psychology, attention seeking stunts, and everyone is selling something (usually junk.)

Not me. I'm only on IG, but really all I do is scroll I don't post. I'm on FB but only for groups related to reality tv, I never post on my timeline. I've never been on Twitter/X either. Social media is more toxic than it is positive. It controls us so much more than many realize.

Me too. My teen was on it but has left.

Same. I’ve even stopped posting on FB and Instagram (although DCUM is still a bit of an addiction but I’m working on that). Mid-20s DS says he recently closed his TicToc account after he realized how much they track everything you do.

I love how when you read the above threads, all (literally) of the DCUM kids aren't interested at all in TikTok. (Apparently on their own even.)
Is this impressive parenting? Or delusional?

PP here. DS was on TicTok for several years until he grew up and realized the security risks. Also, he’s in the comp sci field. You should grow up too.

You know how your kids aren’t on FB anymore, it’s just for 30+ like us to stay in touch with high school and college friends? Same story with TicTok. You’re just behind the times.
