For real. It feels like we are trying to sell people heroin as a less addictive alternative to morphine.
Comment on With the current situation with Tiktok, it's time for the Fedivers to rise.

The alternatives to many of these services should be nothing

Exactly, fediverse tikrok gives a lot of “eco-friendly cigarette” vibes.

Unfortunately that’s just not how people work. I hate Tiktok and never used it, but I still want Loops to do well so people can have a far healthier and privacy-considerate service. There are many inventions huamns have made that do harm instead of good, but we have to learn how to minimize what we can as we depend on them. Forcing people to “not have Tiktok-like services” is not a solution.

Fully agree.
Unfortunatly though, apps like that are like crack (The Office jokes incoming…?). And if you take that away the first response isn’t happiness, but the opposite and they’ll go for the next best drug, maybe meth.
