This app could potentially supplant Tik Tok overtime. As Tik Tok's censorship following it's acquisition by US investors such as Oracle, Silver Lake, and Abu Dhabi-based MGX, and UpScrolled already having questionable ethics, this may be the path forward.

No. No more Vines or Shorts or TikTok and shit. It's a fucking problem. Stop it.

Exactly. Ethically sourced brainrot is still brainrot

I hate TikTok too, but it's not going away without comprehensive legislation regulating social media. Until then, a fediverse alternative that's not ruled by corporate algorithms would at least be a form of harm reduction. Think of it like a Safe Injection Site program; it's not great that they're still using, but at least they're getting clean needles.

I'll tell you what, that's a fair point.

Oh get over yourself

[–] Scotty_Trees@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Exactly. I have ZERO desire to use this app, or even PixelFed for that matter. Does that platform even have a legit user base or just bots?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Yes, exactly. It's just a way to successfully manipulate people to believe how you want them to.

And we don't want leftists doing that, so let's make it a moral failing.
