    Who is on TikTok? I created an account for @TerraKendama on there not too long ago, hit it up!

    I'm liking how tiktok feels less overrun by commercial ads, and there is a growing group of dama shredders that regularly post on there. If you haven't checked it out yet, join the tiktok dama squad!

    Not gonna lie - I despise tiktok and won't ever be downloading it lol
    Might be biased cause of the cringy posts you get to see on other social media taken from tik tok

    yeah TikTok seems super cringe with the dancing @slothymane but seems interesting with the funnyesk vine type of comedies. @htimSxelA how have you been liking it?

    @Jewbacca I actually like the interface, its a nice UX for a lot of things, comments are kind of more hidden away though so it feels a little less 'community-esque'. WAY less ads and promotion crap than instagram, so thats nice.

    The 'dancing kids' meme is definitely a thing on there, but there is a lot of other good content. I've followed a ton of cool kendama, skateboard, snowboard, and DIY/art accounts, no dancing kids. So the feed is lookin good so far!

    One of my posts has a quarter million views, the engagement is really crazy! Whereas instagram just restricts views unless you pay them for advertising.

    Honestly the one thing tiktok needs is just more dama players! haha

    Max Norcross has a TikTok account. I think he's spending more time on there than on Instagram.

    Agreed on this point. ABC News Australia also did a piece on how Tiktok can pose a cybersecurity threat to the international community.

    Yea I absolutely agree about this, not trying to give China any other information, I’ve been using GAB and Rumble a lot recently,
    Gab so far is awesome, zero ads, zero
    Censorship. I can even post my own music that I created without having it removed for DCMA (yea Instagram removed my post because I used my own song I made, can you even believe that ? )
