the solution is to follow communities on platforms that you do actually like and feel comfortable in where content from spaces like TikTok gets curated and reposted.
i never want to join TikTok, and i only created a Tumblr account as a joke to buy the blue checks on there and never do anything on the site again. but i'm still on Reddit and it's great being able to just browse through communities like r/CuratedTumblr, r/TikTokCringe (which is not an actual cringe sub, no worries), and even stuff like r/BestOfRedditorUpdates because even on Reddit there's communities like AITA that i don't want to trawl through for good stuff to read.
