It's fascinating how normies will figure out a VPN to use shitty social media but not figure out more open systems or alternative sites.

What's the open tiktok alternative? Many tiktok users would love an open platform as an alternative to tiktok.

Right? They realized the power that be, corporations or governments, can take away any service at any time, & look for the loophole to access the service instead of the loophole to the entire centralized system …especially considering those powers can take down the VPNs too. Duct tape thinking.
