See ya TikTok :(
WELP It looks like the U.S. ban on Tiktok is going through a week from today, Sunday, January 19, 2025. We had our (what seems to be last) Tiktok Live this morning. We will of course, continue to post on all of our other platforms, and will only be able to go Live on Instagram & Facebook, until we reach 1,000 subscribers on our other platforms. If you're on any of the platforms listed, do us a favor and follow us and we'll follow you back! We will always continue to support our amazing indie artists and local businesses and communities.
Say what you will about Tiktok (politically), but Tiktok did provide a wonderful and supportive community, and so many small businesses and creators have started their journey on that app. Let's hope their legacy won't go to waste.

The impending ban on TikTok has left many creators and users feeling dismayed, yet it presents an opportunity for growth on other social media platforms. While TikTok was hailed for its engaging community, Instagram and Facebook offer a chance to build connections in a different way. Creators and small businesses are encouraged to adapt, embracing new avenues for reaching audiences. Establishing a solid presence on these platforms can maximize engagement through live shows and tailored content. Recently, many users have expressed concern over where they will share their creativity without TikTok's popular format. However, by utilizing Instagram and Facebook Live, as well as other platforms like Clapper and BlueSky, creators can engage followers in immersive ways. It's crucial for indie artists and small business owners to pivot their marketing strategies to thrive in this changing landscape. By promoting their work through other social channels, they can continue their journeys, inspire creativity, and leverage potential collaborations. As we transition, your support in following and engaging across our various socials will help sustain these communities. Let's band together to ensure that the creativity fostered on TikTok lives on elsewhere. Stay tuned, as we explore new features and content styles that keep our spirit alive!
