TikTok sounds go silent as songs disappear from app::Videos across the platform have lost their audio in dramatic dispute

I don’t use TikTok, but this comment has it backwards. Life is too short to deny yourself fun for some kind of perceived superiority.
Strongly disagree. Life is too short to spend your life on a toxic platform that rots your brain out
That kinda sounds just like a boomer opinion about anything on the internet.
While generally I’d agree with you, these apps are engineered to exploit human weaknesses to make a few people money and have real and measurable effects on the human psyche. From reduced attention spans due to short form or dense content, to problems with self-worth, these apps are literally bad for you if you engage with them a lot - which, again, they are engineered to get you to do. They are completely manipulative and not “just another fun thing”.
You can also have fun by reading a book. Or making something. Or going out.
Thanks, you make good points. I like your comment better than the one where the guy told me to eat shit.
That’s nice. Your opinion has as much value as a shit flavored lolly pop. Your favorite flavor.
You aren’t making a good case for Lemmy being better than TikTok
I can’t imagine that they would be trying to make that argument. 😮
All social media platforms are toxic platforms that rot your brain out, including this one. TikTok is not uniquely terrible, like every other platform, you have to curate a quality feed. My feed has a lot of language learning, history, and fiber arts. I prefer long form content, but sometimes I learn about California redwoods while praying on the porcelain throne.
I have concerns with children being on TikTok, but before it was TikTok it was iPad kids watching Elsa and Spider-Man pregnancy videos on YouTube. The problem is parental supervision.
