I remember making fun of it back then but now it's literally like Vine.. and i love Vine.. so I do enjoy TikTok a lot (tho shorts are cool too.)
i also enjoy tiktok (ik i have to admit it) buuuuuuuuuut, i dont watch those cringy, unfunny 21st century skibidi toilet, cago kawasaki etc... memes. and if i see them, i usually skip them. most of my reccomendations are music (music making, fl studio...) , aesthetic, art, creepy stuff and some stuff i can relate in an everyday basis.Melodies wrote:

No.
I used to Instagram reels a few months ago which is alike tho. I stopped because it's a brainrot.

Anything that walls-off content behind accounts is crap. X luckily is near-useless (aside from the abhorrent people really there for what "free speech" implies), but everyone having their communities on Discord is disgraceful.
Any time I hear of TikTok it's either something dumb, or some other negative connotation. I'll trust I'm not missing anything by never trying it.
YouTube is basically essential as a video host and videos are free to look at without an account. I'm fine with YouTube by itself, but I have no interest in reels/shorts and haven't had to view any. Some of my uploaded short videos look changed to YT shorts now which is kind of gross, and if I figure out if I can opt-out of that it'll be done.
I never understood the concept of Instagram. Do people just upload photos without categorization? I tried it a few times and ended up deleting my accounts after a few days of not getting it. I would have liked to use Threads over X, but tying it to IG was a mistake.
The FB groups I've seen and been in were ok. It's still walled-off, but I give FB's massive size a pass on that; I keep an account mostly for Messenger. FB seems to be the most tame mainstream network today, but I have issues with Meta.
I've self-hosted Friendica and Piwigo for my own social network and pic/videos, but I'm looking to either redo it with a distro switch soon (SELinux is a PITA on-top of Fedora breaking more and more), or just settle on some Mastodon instance. ActivityPub and federated/decentralized social networks is how things should be.

people post photos there for other users basically, but not only photos; there are also short and long videos like on youtube or tiktokEspionage724 wrote:

Personally I don't use it, I kind of despise how it works to be honest.
I just think it's such a dumb app because it just feeds you content and it wastes your time. Sure some stuff on it can be considered useful like cooking vids and other tips and tricks surrounding different hobbies, but in the end you can find those tips and tricks online yourself rather than having someone feed it to you.
Same goes for shorts, reels, and all of that short content bullcrap.
PS: sorry if I sound super negative, I don't mean to offend anyone in any way!

this app is just stupid, the videos are dumb and low effort (plus they will slowly lobotomize you)

Abso-flippa-lutely not. It's just all kinds of garbage, and plus, it's mindless entertainment anyway. YouTube actually has some value, but not all of it is.

In fact, this thread now looks like the aftermath of actual TikTok brainrot, thanks to some certain people here who keep replying like this is f$%&ing Discord not a darn forum, and that can only corroborate what I ranted about earlier:
That's me saying being a TikTok repeater means your brain rots, you read that right. This is why I don't appreciate the idea of short videos like this (TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, you count).Rizumu Tenshi wrote:
TikTok, however, takes this simplification stuff to brainrot levels

I don't, I am the only one in my immediate surrounding who gets fatigued by short form content. Call me slow but it is too fast for me and I don't get the what given clip wants to show, I would need to watch it 3 or 4 times over.
It may be better for me but I feel so dumb when someone shows me a TikTok or YouTube short and I stand there watching it few times over ;-;

I watch quite a bit of TikTok (around 10 hours on average per week). I know it's a lot
I've deleted the app for like 2-3 years. just didn't feel like using it, beside i didn't want to post my art videos there bc there were my old classmates (i didn't want to stay in contact w/ them since they were really toxic but couldn't bring myself to delete the account)
so ya i'm kinda surprised about this

Social media as a concept is fine when money isn't involved (which is nowhere unless you self-host something). It's the providers and their "algorithms" hooking you to their site longer than productively needed.__scripting wrote:

I go to FB to check for notifications, and oh there's some interesting video from a page I don't follow right on-top of my feed (like some hydraulic press clips). And then the scrolling starts. At least with FB they end the feed scrolling eventually (or they can't find anything else to feed me at that point), but X just keeps on going and even repeats some posts just to keep me on the site.
Social media companies are for-profits, and they benefit from people viewing ads and even paying for a blue checkmark. They enjoy endless scrolling and casual content viewing even at the detriment of their users. And even though they log all interactions and can clearly see patterns, they do little to nothing to prevent a terrorist event from happening, but will gladly send that person's life over to enforcement agencies that ask after the event and even to random people that masquerade as law enforcement.
