Do u use Tik Tok or Instagram ? 💻

I do not use either one of those sites. I hate em both. What about you. Tik Tok is evil. What ya think. Comments. 🙂

I don’t use tik tok, but my oldest does. She sends me funny or neat clips and she’s gotten some recipes and book recommendations off there. I don’t think it’s inherently evil - you just have to not check your brain at the door when you go in. Like most everything I suppose. I have an instagram. I like to look at artists’ work and yoga tips and routines and photographers. A few recipe pages. Some friends. People seem to put their joy there - the ones I look at anyway. I have seen some that are just pitifully shallow or ridiculous, but then my trash may be someone else’s treasure. 🤷‍♀️ My youngest hasn’t much interest in social media, and I’m just fine with that as I do think it’s particularly toxic for children.

@JustNik I agree. It's entertainment. But at what price. It's become like a cult. Stay safe.

Tiktok is awesome! There are so many vulnerable and open humans sharing their stories. It’s like all social media... you have to pull the weeds to allow the flowers to grow.

I only use Instagram for business and Facebook still is a better platform for me than Instagram 🤷🏼‍♀️

@HotMessExpress102 I usually just get women dumping water on themselves or twerking.

@Lostpoet the algorithm is horrible there! Just don’t watch them all the way through and “heart” the things you genuinely like and you’ll get more of it.

It is graphic and sexual. No place for kids, but I genuinely have found hope and inspiration there.
I just today read a girl was rescued from somebody she didn't want to be with by making a Tik Tok hand signal for domestic violence, so I guess it's not pure evil.

Never been to either site.

@Mamapolo2016 Maybe. But that's just one good story.
🤷‍♀️@Zonuss
Nope. I don't use any of the big social media sites. Google knows far more about me than is healthy; I don't need any other companies sniffing everything I do.

@ElwoodBlues Well said. 🙂

I think it is evil it gives kids excuses to do really dumb sht for a second or two of fame. But In saying that I have a friend that is a comedian on TikTok so I get on and support his videos.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@Lostpoet Yes. Kids are influenced by it badly now

@Zonuss I just hate when some idiot makes a video about eating laundry pods and now we got 1,000 dead kids imitating it or that now I have to question if someone licked the top of the ice cream I'm about to buy. Or some other sht.

@Lostpoet Yes. These trends are toxic. People should be aware and use caution.🙂
