A TikTok ban in the USA is looking more likely.
Especially in light of the spy balloons.
Politicians have been talking up a ban for years but the spy balloons give them more ammo.

Questionโฆdo you find #mastadon too confusing?
I've been so excited about the explosion of new Mastodon apps that I decided to write about it in my column, with a focus on @ivory and @icecubesapp. A thousand flowers blooming!
Iโm using @ivory and @icecubesapp@mastodon.cloud and like them both a lot.
I'm familiar with your region. It's currently nighttime in this first-world dystopian country. But hey, there's always something to be grateful for when you're alive. Even if you'd rather paint roses red, you can't change the fact it's still a rose. Can't change the past, only the future. For all that you're powerless to change, you're free to change your perception of it.

If you can't find an account you _know_ exists, chances are someone in your timeline blocked them or their server.

Just installed @icecubesapp, which like @ivory, is an iOS app for Mastodon that was released today.
Unlike @ivory, @icecubesapp is open source. It also has a wildly different UI/UX.
Hereโs screenshots of @icecubesapp!
