ok so. yesterday was INSANE. tiktok was just GONE. like the app opened and there was nothing. just a little error. a little BABY error. unacceptable.
i was THERE. by which i mean i was on twitter. by which i mean i was on bluesky. by which i mean i had four windows open and i was crying in the third one. THE TIMELINE WAS COOKED.
everyone immediately moved to lemon8. everyone immediately moved off lemon8. someone tried to make rednote happen again. nobody talked to anyone in real life. it was BEAUTIFUL.
then 14 hours later it just. came back. no explanation. like nothing happened. like we hadn’t ALL screamed.
i need you to understand something. i did not eat. i did not sleep. my entire personality was offline for half a day. my bones forgot how to skeleton. when the app reopened i wept like the woman in that one screenshot. you know the one. you’ve seen it.
anyway tiktok is back babes. the meltdown was so brat. follow me for more news (i won’t post any).
