Even China banned TikTok
Not quite, TT is available in China, BUT the CCP mandates they use a special algorithm for the Chinese audience that promotes positivity, education and other quality content rather than just whatever is popular
K, sounds better than a platform strewn with lies and disinformation used to fabricate political influence
The fediverse and the decentralised web has a long way to go and need to learn a thing or two about UX unless it wants to join the plight of Linux distros.
The fediverse as a whole has missed a huge opportunity here. I never see anyone talking about it as alternatives to twitter or tiktok, only bluesky and rednote. AFAIK we have no alternative to tik-tok that is viable right now, so I don't know why anyone thought we could manage that one.
Loops would be the fedi alternative for tiktok, no? I think. And I agree..but fediverse has only a little word of mouth (reading your comment I feel guilty not pushing it to my friends a little), no money for these viral campaigns/swarms of new users.
the fediverse needs a simple onboarding process like "signal", to overtly simplify it for casual users. Also, I only heard about loops today and it appears so far it only has a specialized iOS app that requires a special "alpha" mode to be enabled, and no android app. Not exactly ready for primetime.
EasyPeezy for you to say! :D but yeah if it's not even in the appstore..Pixelfed has seen a boost at least
Its OK, I dont mind lower numbers on fedi. Feels more like The Good Old Daysโข of forums. More people, more shit.
I mostly agree. I do miss some niche communities, though.
At least we don't have to worry too much about bots or "karma addicted".
Turns out normalizing mass surveillance makes people not care about being spied on
Xi's 50 Cent Army will be kept busy.
Seems astroturfed to me
Also our developers are too poor to ge oligarchs.
I don't want TikTokers on the Fediverse, thankyouverymuch.
"I don't want AOLers on the web. The open internet should just be for us enlightened few"
JFC, * don't want you pricks on the fedi. Can't you go back to BBSes or something and wank each other there?
while I laud your sentiment, it's those who needlessly pick on BBSers who need to be ejaculated from the internet.
The TikTok algorithm shows you what you want to see. My TikTok algorithm was history, math, and language learning content.
It shows you what keeps your eyes on a video for longer, on a frame by frame basis. "Want" is a slightly separate concept.
you can defederate with groups but gatekeeping the entire fediverse feels wrong
We've been here the whole time
I do! Their opinions affect us; the fediverse reduces a social problem.
I feel the same. I prefer less crowded places, but I believe it would be better for us all if people left any kind of corporate or attention draining social media.
