Same. I mean I didn't find quite the same type of community, but I did get exposed to content that was different than other platforms. Just weirder, more fun, more interesting. Definitely going to miss it if it goes away.
It's unfortunate that more people can't see that it:
1. actually has some social value
2. banning it is a restriction on our freedom
Obviously, it's
3. mostly junk and brain rot
4. a potential tool for Chinese influence and manipulation
But I think we need to accept that 1 & 2 override 3 & 4. Honestly for 4, it's more important to have a widely used source that isn't necessarily subject to the same restrictions (legal or cultural) as US-based apps.
