Of course Musk will buy TikTok…saw this coming no doubt and ew. Happy to leave it behind 😉 he’s so annoying 😐

They’ll be a mass exodus just like Twitter

Sandra Maurer MA, LPCC, PMH-C's avatar

I already left when trump pulled that bullshit stunt and tik tok went along with it. Not doing it.

Kam's avatar

Same. I knew this was his way of “saving” TikTok I think most of us can pretty much read the room by now 😐

I removed the app after signing out but assumed I might log back in after the dust settles. Guess I’m done. It was a fun app while it lasted.

Kam's avatar

Yep…absolutely no one wants to be a part of anything they are doing. It’s so hard sitting back and just watching this unfold…

I wish I was in Canada…we thank you for supporting us here in strange America 🫶🏼

Sassie's avatar

Canada has free immigration so you can go and get all that free stuff..but you better hurry because there will be no more US subsidies going there within a month or two.

Ellis Scott's avatar

Like the mass exodus from Meta that didn’t happen this week?

Kate Rooney's avatar

Only needy people that need attention and likes to feel worthy will stay on the Meta apps. Sad!

Andrea Lombeyda's avatar

I deleted all of my Meta accounts and I think a lot of other people did too. Not sure if it was a significant amount of people though.

Stephanie Pillsbury's avatar

No like the mass exodus from Twitter.

Kam's avatar

I exited…years ago tho. Next thing I’m questioning I hear Gmail links back to these rich ass guys..saw a creator talking about this. I have everything tied to my gmail… wonder if someone can confirm this?

Reyna pecot's avatar

Same. All shared doc for work are intermingled smh. Can you message me if you find out? Please 🙏🏾 My profile is on Substack.

Sassie's avatar

Google was never your friend. Never had your best interest to begin with since they were owned by Alphabet.

Jennifer's avatar

So glad I deleted it.

Alexis DeToro's avatar

It would be cool if we can get the people who are still on it stay until the sale is confirmed. Once it’s a done deal then we all get off it and tank the app.

Andrea Koerner's avatar

So saw this coming. They want to control all the media. That happens and I am gone. Will stay on Rednote

We're not even an oligarchy now, we've become a dictatorship. Anything Humpty wants he gets-he's suppressing free speech etc-that's a dictatorship

It’s free speech as long as you’re saying what they want to hear. This is BS.

MaryLou's avatar

His gullible followers follow his every word as absolute truth because they really don't understand what they are concurring with and repeating as he says it! It's horrifying to see the lack of knowledge and comprehension of what they are espousing.

SRW's avatar

Especially when it's your own family. It's very upsetting. 😕😞

Sassie's avatar

You mean like when he said “fine people on both sides” but the news edited out the part before he said that? Way to be manipulated! I would recheck your news and demand to see full unedited clips…and think that was one of a thousand things they lied about it to us! I’m done with CNN and MSNBC..they manipulated and lied about polls too!

Adol's avatar

Him saying he’s giving back free speech is like pushing someone down and helping them stand up after.

Sassie's avatar

There was plenty of censorship of independent thinkers and conservatives in multiple platforms. Just because news didn’t report it…didn’t mean it didn’t happen. But yeah..that was happening.

Elizabeth's avatar

I like this format. I’m trying to avoid watching mainstream media news because they’re kissing Trump’s ass. Thank you for your work!!

LG's avatar

Same! I've been trying to figure out a way to both stay informed and minimize my doomscrolling. This format gives me specific times of day I can get caught up via a reliable source and in between I can attend to the other things in my life that need attention without worrying that I'm missing something important

Britt's avatar

I have yet to get to a place where I can stop doom scrolling 😔 But maybe what you’re doing is a good place for me to start!

Lisa Lively!'s avatar

It took 7 hours to undue all the notifications, apps and crap on my phone after years of overestimating myself. Remove all and start over and add...it is blissful.

Britt's avatar

I just deleted FB & 90% of my shopping apps. Working on deleting IG. But WOW I feel like a weight was lifted off my shoulders!! This feels good!

Edith Prickley's avatar

Thank you for the updates! This format is great and I feel like I'm getting the critical information needed. I appreciate your calm demeanor in these exhausting times.

Kathy's avatar

Thanks for doing this and providing free, critical content. <3

Tater Tot's avatar

I have no words this morning. It’s going to be an exhausting 4 years. Thank you for everything you’re doing.

Kristy Baker's avatar

Love the format, so glad I found you! We are going to need you Aaron!!

latitude53's avatar

How sure did they have to be that 47 would be Trump that they are already poised to execute these raids? The amount of planning that goes into an effort like this didn't start last month

MaryLou's avatar

Trump has been developing this plan from Mar-a-lago for the past 4 years.

Morgan Mullins's avatar

Had a friend who was in Chicago this weekend and said they witnessed multiple people being pulled out of workplaces by ice. I can’t believe this is where we are.

kimpossible's avatar

I hope people start recording these incidents and posting them widely.

Mrs. Mia Lorenzen's avatar

That’s so scary and very sad :(

SRW's avatar

This is heartbreaking! 😭

Elle Sea's avatar

I appreciate this format - I know I'm not missing anything due to algorithms. And I appreciate the work you're doing to put all of this together.

Avery's avatar

As always, thank you Aaron.

KatWW72's avatar

What’s to stop him from saying “F- IT” with all policies and decisions?

ConcertsandRaccoons's avatar

Nothing to stop that from happening and I expect it will

HayBooBoo's avatar

If he buys TikTok I’m out for good. Already been considering it but that would def push me over the edge on it.

Ryan Hosanna's avatar

It's already compromised and they've caved to Trump. Get out now!

Lil's avatar

I stayed out after if wasn't available for 15 hours. Who knows what they did.

Vickie Lan's avatar

If Elon buys Tik Tok, I’m off. He ruined Twitter, Tik Tok will be unrecognizable if he buys it.

Juliette Harris's avatar

I am absolutely sick about ICE raiding churches and schools! This will terrify a generation of children that already were affected by the pandemic. They will learn to hate law enforcement and our governments. This administration is destroying our country. We can rebuild it better though.

Sara's avatar

As Americans, we are literally living through what Nazi Germany went through. I’ve been living in fear the past 3 days, I can’t be the only one.

I say this with so much respect, please get some rest, and hire some people to help you. It's going to be a long, long, long four years.
