being banned 
From the OP's post history: she's a single mom living in section 8 with an neurodivergent daughter and has various white women diseases (she requires a "mobility device" to get around apparently)
I know its just an app. Its just one outlet. Its just one space to go on the internet but its also so vital in how to do so many things. I learned how to do the following:
Becoming a better mom
Learning how to advocate for myself and my kiddo
Finding a community
Developing better skills to find better jobs
How fix shit around my house (for better or worse. lol)
What symptoms are signs of (whatever is possibly causing my symptoms)
Unlearning so many shitty traits from systemic issues
ALL.THE.RECIPES.
And now...its just going away. Capitol hill couldn't improve healthcare as a country, improve the housing market, cutting the cost of food, or stopping school shootings but hey, they did it. They banned an app that brought so many people together...
On to the comments:
Yep. So many people in my life aren't make the connection of what this actually means. We're witnessing an iron curtain rising. And its devastating.
I understand that "he" won, so I won't throw a temper tantrum about it (like some people). I concede that this is what more than 50% of the voting population wanted. But I won't go down without expressing my concerns, if for no other reason than to say "I told you so" in 2 years
Does this idiot not realize that it was 
that enacted TOTAL ZOOMER DEATH? What does Trump have to do with this
I wish I could do more than upmarsey. This is everything.
I became a RedNote turnover 🤠it's great, most of the TT's I followed are there now
Actually looking forward to learning Chinese...
TikTok saved my life.
The wishful thinking part gets me. Like, what makes you think Reddit is safe? FB? Groomercord? If one goes, they can do this to whatever they want.
Unfortunately reddit, groomercord, and Facebook aren't controlled by the Chinese so they are safe. But I pray for the day of TOTAL GROOMERCORD DEATH.

My fellow citizens, we gather in the shadow of a new age, where the cowtools of communication and the threads of connection are no more than playthings in the hands of those who would divide us. We have witnessed the rise of a platform, Tiktok, which has spread its tendrils across our lands, capturing the minds of our youth with its siren songs of entertainment and triviality.
But let us not be deceived by the glittering facade of this digital behemoth. For behind its jovial mask lies a more sinister intent, the manipulation of information, the harvesting of our very thoughts and desires. And now, with the decision to ban Tiktok, we find ourselves at the precipice of a new kind of conflict.
From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic, an iron curtain has descended across the digital realm. This curtain, not of steel and stone, but of code and algorithm, separates us from the free exchange of ideas, from the open discourse that has long been the cornerstone of our civilization.
We must stand firm, for this is not merely the banning of an app; it is the declaration of a digital battleground where the freedom of information is at stake. We must not let this iron curtain, this barrier of censorship and control, become the new normal. We must fight for a world where our voices are not silenced, where our thoughts are not dictated by those who sit in distant lands, pulling the strings of a vast, invisible network.
Let us remember the spirit of resistance, the unyielding resolve that has carried us through times of darkness before. We must ensure that this digital curtain does not become a permanent fixture, but a challenge to be overcome. For if we allow this to stand, we surrender not just our entertainment but our very essence of liberty.
In this struggle, we must be vigilant, we must be united, and above all, we must be free. The battle for the digital frontier is upon us, and we shall not yield. We shall prevail, for we are the guardians of freedom, the bearers of truth, and the architects of a future where no curtain, no matter how iron, can dim the light of human spirit and ingenuity.
