Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I'm an old Millennial and I don't even understand tick tock. This is an absolutely dumbass move and I don't understand it either
I'm X-ennial. Tiktok is just a good algo and a snappy interface. Its the closest anything has gotten to channel-flipping since before cable went digital. Just flip until something cool is on, and flip away if it gets boring
Yeah I bet it's entertaining. I've kind of drifted from social media other than places like here. I just don't understand the motivation with this other than China bad.
sounds like u understand the motivation perfectly lol
TikTok algo isn't overrun with chuds so users are exposed to anti-Israel, anti-America, anti-White, pro-trans "propaganda"
That's actually a good way to describe short form content. You flip though the videos until you get something cool, watch a bunch of them from said cool person, and then leave or watch something else.
