Bit late to the party, but TikTok for sure. Keep the loonies stuck there, and I can keep monitoring my favorite horror games on Twitter.

as we are seeing when TikTok gets banned everyone will have just moved to the other TikTok like app and if that app gets banned they will just keep moving to different platforms that are just like TikTok and I'm sure that will be the same for if twitter gets banned.

Banning twitter is like telling twitter users to find a new platform to be jerks on. So banning it will just create a new twitter in my opinion.
Tiktok can be fun and used for good. But 85% of the content is garbage that does way more harm than good. So yeah I think tiktok. Even though just like twitter, I feel like the garbage content will spread to other platforms.

Of the two TikTok.
While I'm philisophically opposed to gooberment bans (and corporate censorship in favor of approved narratives), TikTok being effectively owned and opperated by an all but declared hostile nation-state does argue for an exception.

Not listed, but Facebook and BlueSky and Truth Social and >The_Rest< also ought be up for consideration as social media sites have a teneancy to encourage forming and living within bubble/echo-chambers.

id disagree with you on bluesky. while i suppose any social media will put you in a bubble, since itll show you stuff you interact with, the decentralized system bsky uses is much better than other socials

Obviously YMMV: while I am nearly absent from all of these, that's the first positive comment I've heard about BlueSky

twitter. twitter is INSANE. i don't care if tiktok sells my data, rots my brain, and makes me into a goldfish. i'd rather have that than have my art and images fed to ai, be called fatphobic for drawing plus size people (i thought u WANTED me to draw them?!?!?), and last but not least, be on a site owned by a hypocrite who owns a electric car brand which's main selling point is being eco friendly, who then said that he supported a climate change denyer. anyways american politics is crazzzyyy.

I mean, Maybe that's you but I disagree.
For your thing about being judged in twitter. I personally couldn't care less. I can just simply stay silent, and upload my work on another trusted site, Avoiding unhelpful criticism and reducing the chance of AI using my work. I usually use twitter for very specific things and stay completely silent. For my news I read from multiple news agencies, Local and international.
About tiktok.. Like yeah you know they sell your data, You know it corrupts your brain and evaporates your concentration on anything. I just can't think why'd you keep using tiktok on a regular bases knowing those facts very well. Of course if you use it moderately and know when to stop then go ahead, everyone needs to feel dumb watching reels every once in a while :)
And finally about elon, He is a hypocrite when it comes to many things. But like.. that's basically every company founder. And about him pushing his agenda on his website. Are we going to pretend that literally (almost) every other website does the exact same thing but in a more subtle way?

Those are two camps where normies become looneys. While X only affects adults (as the adult site it is) where your average Friday news story can be dramatised to be the cause of WW3, TikTok is practically a "ticking" time bomb where today's children are becoming brain-rotted and will thus end the human race all the same just delayed a bit. So, I say choke that tweety bird before the world becomes looney in the very near future.

If you get your news ONLY from twitter/tiktok. Just don't ever get involved with politics. (Not you specifically btw I mean everyone who does that)
