The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!

Gratitude makes the holidays even more magical.

This year, I’m especially grateful for:

❀️ My husband – his unwavering love, support, and care have been my rock through every high and low.
❀️ The power of exhaling and taking off the cape – allowing myself to rest, breathe, and simply be.

Exactly! Have to connect off these platforms. They can all be gone in a blink of an eye.

9/ What are your favorite ways to connect outside of social media? Let’s brainstorm in the commentsβ€”because connection should never depend on a single platform.

8/ This outage isn’t the first, and it won’t be the last. If you haven’t already, use this as a wake-up call to establish connections beyond social media. Your future selfβ€”and your audienceβ€”will thank you.

7/ Diversify Communication: Think of social media as a tool, not the only tool. Combine it with other methods like email newsletters, SMS, and even in-person events to keep your network strong no matter what happens online.

6/ Own Your Community: Whether it’s a personal blog, a podcast, or a private group on an independent platform, creating spaces you own ensures that your connections don’t vanish with a glitch.

5/ Email Is King: Email remains one of the most reliable ways to connect. It’s not dependent on any one platform, and it gives you direct access to your audience without competing with algorithms or outages.

4/ Your Data, Their Rules: Social media platforms are governed by their own algorithms and policies. If your account gets flagged or hacked, you risk losing your audience overnight. Building email lists or personal connections helps you stay in touch.

3/ Businesses Take a Hit: For entrepreneurs and businesses, especially those running ads or communicating with clients, an outage can mean lost revenue. If your entire audience is on one platform, you’re at the mercy of its uptime. Diversification is key.

2/ Outages Happen: No platform is immune to technical issues. Whether it’s Meta, X (formerly Twitter), or TikTok, these platforms are not under our control. When they go down, our access to communication and communities disappears instantly.

Thread: Why the Meta Outage Reminds Us to Connect Beyond Social Media

1/ 🚨 Meta outage disrupted Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, leaving billions of us unable to connect. It’s a stark reminder of how much we rely on these platformsβ€”and why we must diversify how we stay connected. Here’s why.

6/ This isn’t just TikTok’s fight. It’s ours too. Will they silence one of the few platforms where we truly shine? Or will we keep showing up, no matter where the algorithm takes us? Let’s talk about it. ⬇️

5/ But let’s be realβ€”many creators are preparing for the worst. They’re telling followers, β€œFind me on Instagram or YouTube.” Diversifying our presence is key to staying ahead. πŸ”‘

4/ TikTok knows its power lies in numbers. The more they grow their user base, the harder it’ll be for lawmakers to justify erasing a space that drives culture and creativity. πŸ“ˆ

3/ For Black women, TikTok is more than trends and dances. It’s where we’ve built brands, started movements, and showcased our magic unapologetically. Losing it could mean losing a major outlet. ✊🏾✨

2/ TikTok is fighting a potential U.S. ban. They’re not just growing usersβ€”they’re building a defense. The more people rely on the platform, the harder it is for the government to shut it down. 🚨
