I don’t mind “TikTok-like”. I just think it’d be a silly reason for the project to shutdown.

IANAL, but I don't think there's a reasonable ground for a lawsuit (although there's nothing prevent an attempt). It's not claiming to be TikTok, that would be a clear trademark infringement. It's just saying it's similar to their service, and if you want to compare it (which is allowed), you have to refer to it somehow. Similar to when people say LibreOffice is an MS office alternative - Microsoft wouldn't have the grounds to sue there, either.

You anal? what a weird way to start a comment.

In case you’re serious (or for anyone else who may not know), it means “I am not a lawer”
