I was never a TikTok person, so I have no idea how equivalent this platform is. I wonder if it will do as well without its algorithm.

Content moderation is a very difficult thing. I expect there will be a lot of grifters on there soon enough, and they're going to have to employ a bunch of people to make sure it doesn't become a shithole.

I hope TikTok crashes and burns so the Trumps and Saudi Arabian princes of the world lose all their money. Then again, some people still use Xitter, so my hopes aren't super high.
