we need a new app

Has anyone developed an alternative app to tiktok yet? So many people stay on tiktok because it provides a source of news, education, and entertainment. But now content is being censored in America and I fear it’s going to get worse. Im talking an app completely free and adless - perhaps made as a hobby by someone with a passion. Maybe there’s an option to make a donation to support the developers. It could be the social media app to end social media apps. There could be a section for chatting with friends like DM’s on instagram. Maybe when posting you place it into a category - like ‘news’, ‘entertainment’, or ‘education’ and under those there could be tags for things like ‘American politics’, ‘climate change’, ‘science’ etc to make it easier to find things. I’m so sick of supporting billionaires by using their apps just because there’s no good alternative. Is there something like this that exists?

Do you think apps like TikTok are free to host and maintain or something?

TikTok alone costs around $8million a month to just host the videos and that's not even talking about the cost of paying employees and other stuff.

How about Rednote?

I would pay 10$ a month for an adless tiktok alternative. Give me actual filter controls, and I'm in. And an autoscroller that works, half the time I'm playing it in the background for noise.

Bluesky is coming out with a app soon! It's already in beta testing.

Skylight is in beta. A federated version of TikTok, meaning there will never be a single big rich owner to screw us over. Follow them @ skylight.social over on Bluesky.

I was too quick and deleted the app and now cannot get it back. Honestly, I have not missed it at all.

TikTok itself isn’t even adless, I think u mean by ur not forced to watch an ad to watch a vid

I've seen people talking about Neptune, also PeopleTok and I think it's called Clearlite are in the works as well. There's also Nostr, which is blockchain, and Clearlite they're talking about having it on web3 and/or p2p, outside the government's control. Which is exciting. For now I think all the non-maga ppl are still over on Rednote.

Hate the Fact that TIkTok proved the US is not a free country, but at least everyone knows now

I mean freedom is speech, gone. freedom of commerce, gone because only Mafia Dons hold a gun to your head and force you to sell your company, oh Mafia Don's and the corrupt US government. Freedom of association gone, and gone with a ruling fully hypocritical to their Citizens United Ruling that increased government corruption in the US. I mean not a surprise from a court that held bribery was legal and the President is above the law. The Banana Republic has come home to roost.

Any reason why my account fails to get Live Access here?

This is an alt account off of my main tiktok that i stream something but i want to stream something else on this alt I have gotten 50+ followers on this alt, but the only thing i can think of i tried to approve it when i was under 50 followers and got rejected, which is fine and makes sense (this was a couple of days ago) But now with over 50, i just get stuck on this dumb screen and it bugs the hell out. It's super frustrating Anyone know how to fix this/reset my status so I can request access again?
