You know it's somewhat odd seeing the fallout of the tiktok ban because I remember communities I loved dying in the past and never feeling as upset as these teens seem to be.

It's not so much a community as it is the internet to them. People used to be a part of multiple websites and communities, but from what I've seen tiktok has really captured the hearts and minds of teenagers and young adults. It's a special format that appeals to them and it has such a strong pull that the other internet giants rushed in to copy it to limited success.
There's that saying that the internet today is 4 websites with each one being reposts from the other 3, but for for kids I think they felt that tiktok was their home. I don't know how people form communities around it since it seemed so ugly and superficial to me, but I guess that's the high school demographic.
Tiktok isn't really any different than the Vine of 10 years ago. Teenagers will survive and find a new toy as usual even if this toy was a bit more famous than the other toys of the past. They should be happy they can remember their website fondly rather than watch it turn worse and worse until they no longer want to use it.
Ugh. We live in such a stupid country.
But tiktok isn't gone, the users are just too stupid to figure out how to use a VPN and/or change their DNS. Should you really be empathizing with creatures that stupid?

The 99th percentile gen Z super geniuses smart enough to bypass an IP ban should embrace the new 99th percentile american tiktok where they can now share videos about high IQ topics such as math, chess, and literature instead of watching pewdiepie in a fortnite costume twerking to dubstep or whatever it is they were doing on there all day. 1% of 170 million users is still 1.7 million.
