I like TikTok, actually. I "joyscroll" TikTok rather than doomscroll. Comedians, fellow educators, dogs, musicians. It's a good time for me. Facebook, on the other hand, just bores me. Same, for me it's the absolute opposite of FB. I don't know anyone, very little drama and most I run across I just scroll by. I laugh so much at the funny ones and so much happiness seeing little kids and pets. |

I only joined Tik Tok yesterday after seeing the other thread. And then I spent waaaaaaaaaay too much time watching videos, and wondering why I hadn't joined this time sucker earlier. I didn't see a single clip about divorce or illness or affairs or any kind of oversharing. My feed was heavily Australian content, so lots of funny videos with a ton of F bombs and C bombs!  |

Wait does anybody know the girl who owns the farm with the tons of animals and has the really cranky emu named Karen? lol It like hisses at her and stuff. She cracks me up! I def. follow her. I have to report back with her name. Quoting myself: Go check out useless_farm. She's a Canadian woman and she's so funny! All of her animals have funny, real-people names too like Michael and Gary.  Totally adding her. I have learned so much from TikTok. My kids are horrified, LOL. I follow this one lady who cleans gravestones. I watched her feed for HOURS. She lives in VA and would share stories of the gravestones (if she knew them). It was so thoughtful and lovely. I think her name is Lady Taphos. She started cleaning graves as a way to deal with her anxiety about her divorce. I follow a lot of cooking and cat/dog funnies. Some dancing and cleaning. I like humor but not pranks. |

Never see any drama on my Tik Tok feed. Currently seeing lots of funny cat and dog videos, NYC, CA, travel, restaurant, kdrama reviews, crafts, and cooking videos.
Ohh and I love the bee keeping videos, I follow this woman who is a beekeeper and saves bees. It's so interesting when she scoops the bees with her bare hands and makes a new colony with the queen bee. Her username is @texasbeeworks.

Same here - I have never created an account and don't use Tik Tok, I've never been interested and as katlady says - I just don't need more social media. I've avoided it too- and I have a ton of privacy concerns with them. Same here. |

I thought I was the only person who couldn't stand texasbeeworks. I have NO idea how she does it all in shorts with her hair loose, sedating the bees makes a lot of sense actually. And her videos are definitely staged, that obvious. Ok I feel better now 🤣 |

Oh I LOVE his auto-tune stories! LOL The first time I ran across him, I watched it over and over. His laugh - and the DORITO CRUNCH he does sometimes. Make me laugh! |

I signed up a few weeks ago when I saw a particular account highlighted on a tv show. This account is by a girl whose family has lived in a castle for generations. When the pandemic hit, she moved from college back to the castle and decided to start this account showing modern day castle life. I think it's fun and interesting. I wish I could find more accounts like this that have an educational, historical aspect.

I see a little of that, but the more you spend watching those, the more TT will show you those (as others have said). Right now I see a lot of dogs, political, travel, ex-religious, Minnesota, teachers, humor, etc... It has shifted and continues to shift depending on what I like, follow and watch. Definite oversharing even on some of those, but that isn't the majority of what I watch. Did start seeing Whitey the last weekend though....

I have to admit, I got sucked into tiktok. It started when the pandemic started and basically provided me with entertainment for the rest of the year. I've learned to press down on videos I don't like and indicate I am not interested in that kind of video. It's done a pretty good job of streamlining my interests. My family and friends like to share videos and I have to say, there are some really talented content creators of there. Some characters are far more interesting than ones I've seen on TV or the movies. I'm just happy my FYP isn't populated with too much young adult content that don't interest me.

Its called "thecastlediary" edited: If I remember correctly, her dad is a Count. He plays some of the roles in her videos. |

It's so incredibly tedious to me when people at work continually try to share their dumb TikTok feeds with me or send me videos. I hate it. I have the app but I'm not willing to sit and watch endless stupid videos of people who think they're funny, or the staged stupid "pranks", or any of it really. I SO agree with everything you said. People who think they're funny are just not. |

And I just added a few new accounts to follow!!!!
When my DD signed me up I was on the “aggressive lesbian” side of tiktok (DD TERM). She said I was getting stuff that shocked her!!!
I seem to be getting “tamer” LGBTQ, loads of SHIEN hauls, and loads of Whitey!!!

I like the dog & cat stuff and the renovation posts. I occasionally watch some of the other shit, but damn, that can lead you down a dark rabbit hole.
I also like the obscure historical facts.
My ds, 25, who lives with us with send me several posts each day. I try to send him some funny things as well.

Lol. OP fell into relationship/divorce TikTok. I signed up to follow my daughter ( rachel.miaa here’s a link to her most viewed video TikTok Video ) and some of my resident physicians but ended up falling into home restoration TikTok, Disney TikTok and musical theater TikTok. Oh, spent a little time in ex-LDS TikTok which was weird. |

My daughter had a video blow up over a million views and 250K likes, so I joined. She then deleted everything but that one video, and hasn't posted anything since. I watch a lot of the recipe videos and the theater ones. I swear it helps me fall asleep at night. LOL

wah, is anyone following Mommyfarmer? Her TT are so cute the way she talks to all her animals, such a sweet farm and family. I guess the bullying is getting to her so she's saying she's quitting. I think people like to criticize the way she runs her sweet little farm and its getting to her.
If you don't follow her she's so cute, and her content is so calm and heart melty IMO.
I follow the most rando people. From the roller rink skating dads to the "how priiiteee!" cleaning lady to Bear Baily who sings in the 711s. Babasgarden has the most breathtaking gardens I've ever seen
Food Science Babe is awesome, I've learned a lot from her. She de-bunks a lot of false information out there like, if you can't pronounce it you shouldn't eat it stuff.
Who are you guy enjoying lately?

I don't have my phone on me and I can't remember his name but OMG he is so funny. Gay guy that goes into different stores.. and gives a recap.. He's done BB&B, Trader Joe's, Big Lots and lots more. He's always telling the cute sign decor (like Live Love Laugh, stuff like that) to quit telling him what to do.. cracks me up. Last one I saw he was going in a Christmas Store.. but there was no Christmas stuff!! Looked like a Big Lots to me. There was one tiny area with some Christmas..
Another one that I went down the rabbit hole was a gal who was in prison in Florida. She has daily videos about it. She is pretty young and trying to make it on her own.
When I get home I'm going to look up some of the suggestions!

It was NOTHING but her cleaning her fridge. We decided TikTok must have pulled her video to automatically come up for everyone to entice her to make more videos.. none of them blew up again. |
