I would love a decentralized TikTok replacement. Aside from everybody's privacy complaints, TikTok has a really addictive delivery model.

I would think that short video clips would be easier to federate than beefy 4k video files.

I feel like addictive algorithms are a big part of what we need to get away from.

Better to move them to something more private at the very least. Then we can slowly heal their addiction through in-app propaganda and purposefully declined algorithm performance over a long period of time.

There is one called Goldfish Social

Have you used it? Seems like it’s not a total replacement for TikTok.

I haven't, tbh

NSFW, but redgifs is trying to be the xxx equivalent of TikTok. Redgifs is okay but there's no app, someone could easily step in and take their model, make an app for clients, and decentralize it.

Once that takes off, encourage SFW content too in a separate section of the app.

We could probably just add a feature to peertube called "peertube shorts"
