I am not on tiktok but i admit, my four primary online places each suit me. AALBC/Deviantart/Github/Tumblr AALBC is black owned and i do feel every single black person should be on at least one black owned website, and this one is good cause it connects to my literary life. Deviantartart because there is no place better in the english speaking internet for all art than deviantart. It is the community and variance, all artist are there, sharing, creating, it is fun and lively, not in the debate way but in the creativity way. I love that. The tiktok/facebook/twitter of the world allow for people to advertise but the larger community isn't about that. Github is for posting programs i create. It is free to host online, depending on the language so it is heaven for me. Just keep designing and creating. Deviantart majority post are artists of all sorts posting their art. That is invigorating to see for me. Lastly Tumblr, I used that to post videos which deviantart didn't do, my animatics, but deviantart do now but i keep it and it has good art communities i am apart of. I would had said five but kobo just is a place to host books for sale or for free, not really a social zone.
My point, I was never a facebook or twitter user, had a profile, didn't really use, same as my tiktok, but I can tell you i know people on tiktok over thirty who are not artist trying to make a buck. I like creativity, I like nationalism, in the truest since, to create. So I will never be the best on the tiktok/twitter/facebook of the world where the averge action on the website is talk. But I do know adults on there and also adults outside the usa are heavily on there. I see many adults outside the usa on tiktok too. i think the site has merely taken the throne from facebook/youtube/twitter
