So tiktok for the fediverse...
Listen, I'm all for open sourcing stuff and I'm all for the fediverse and all. I just don't understand why one would want a fediverse tiktok.
I have hundreds of short form videos which are designed to uplift, encourage, and speak positively about mental health issues. I’ve had lots of people tell me that my videos in some small way encourage them to take the next step in their mental health.
In other words, it’s not the form of the video that matters, it’s the content.
As for the cost of the server, I think the videos will expire after a certain amount of time. Something like Snapchat.
The great thing about the Fediverse is that it offers options. Is this going to be exactly like TikTok? Of course not. Will it serve a purpose for some? Time will tell.
Could you please drop a link to them? If what u'r saying is true, well I kinda need em at this point in time :(
Tiktok and the sludge of normal social media is the prime suspect here, not types of freaking videos.
As for hosting, that's gonna have to be built/devised long-term. Nothing to do but get to it!
