The looming TikTok ban was influential in my decision to leave corporate social media.
I left TikTok in 2023ish with about 60k followers. Partially because I learned that I don't like being viewed as an influencer. But also because I believed that the open web was the answer.
The TikTok ban, and just a decade being on Twitter, Instagram, etc, made it clear that we don't get control over our voices without some level of digital sovereignty.
