So yeah, I'm off Facebook, I'm off Twitter, or X or whatever it is now, I'm off Instagram; you name it, I'm off it. And I don't think I've ever gone ON TikTok.

I think TikTok is the only social media I can trust these days. It's an
odd world we live in.

I only use Facebook Messenger to communicate with family. I have never actually used Facebook app. I used the web page to set up my account so I could use Messenger. I hear of people wasting a lot of time on those social sites. I like the BBS scene and it works for me until my time is up.

I hadn't heard of TikTok until it was in the news in early 2000, when I star hearing the US government wanted to block it due to being possibly spyware since it's developed in China.

Has Tiktok been around that long? I am out of step with the times.

I hope I'll keep doing all the things I love doing (e.g. playing drums) until the day I die too. Hopefully later than sooner. :-)

Some of their drummers have perished in the strangest of ways.
