This is true, and it's not one or the other. We can try to do the best we can to protect our privacy and also improve it further (with new tools, practices etc.)

I would rather that good people don't completely abandon the platforms where so many people are. Both to share positive messages and promote good things, but also because good people deserve those social connections too.

I saw this page a while back and it's something we don't talk about enough in privacy discussions: https://www.socialcooling.com/

I also don't like when the only advice given is "uninstall and delete your account, you deserve it otherwise". We can do better

My advice for tiktok:

promote other platforms to people
see how much you can do from the mobile site (they limit it intentionally)
If you really have to install it, check out Shelter to sandbox the app away. It will still track a lot, but it will be somewhat boxed away
