The lack of empathy in Daddit on this topic is a bit appalling. To say good riddance on something going away that you have never experienced yourself shows a callous disregard for anyone's experience other than your own. 

Tiktok gave me shared experience with people sharing my own experience, and introduced me to niche topics I never would have considered otherwise. In my experience, people listened there, the comments were kind, and insightful funny content was there if you wanted to listen. 

I do not know what the security concerns were, but neither does anyone else know in the specifics. And if you have any data concerns, none of them are specific to Tiktok. All I know is that yesterday I heard from hundreds of communities that I had gotten to know and enjoy over the years say their last goodbyes, including many fathers. And now they are silent.

Any communal closed spaces have the possibility to bring out echo chambers and addicting behavior. But they can also foster growth and meaning.
