I am considering installing TikTok. Any suggestion on how to make it less privacy-invasive? (lemmy.world)

I want to follow some people on tiktok, for the content they put out. I am, however, a somewhat privacy-minded person. Any suggestion on how to make TikTok less privacy-invasive? Some DNS app?

I am on Android, not rooted.

This is a good question and one that whose answer is probably not going to be well received in this community but:

I want to follow some stand up comedians. I like to laugh. Sue me.

I tried finding their content elsewhere but was not very successful. Seems like TikTok is being used more and more for that.
