  What? MySpace never tried to topple a democracy.

    Remember when MySpace was owned by Rupert Murdoch? Wikipedia remembers…

      Most of us were teens during the 2000s. No one with fond memories of Myspace knew who Murdoch was.

        Oh, I guess that means it never happened then. 🙄

    They didn’t have the opportunity. They absolutely wanted to,

  If you are uninstalling, you can try the federated alternative: loops

  It’s probably either denial or sunk-cost fallacy

  shortform content, is addictive to people.

    And Tiktok isn’t the only place for that exact type of content.

    People are already jumping ship to other platforms.

  Try UpScrolled. It ranks higher than TicToc and claims to be politically neutral.

    Or Loops? The federated, no special interests version of TikTok. You’re already on lemmy, why advocate for yet another corporate social media company?

      I like the idea of a federated version of that, but there are many problems:

      1. When people scroll, they need an algorithm to choose content for them.
      2. 99% of average TikTok content is low quality shit and it’s the algorithm to find and promote what works
      3. All that 99% of shit is occupying exabytes on bytedance servers. Users are uploading terabytes of shit every hour, it’s impossibile for a federated instance to keep all this shit on disk. Look how Lemmy is designed for example. I upload an image and then it’s stored forever in hundreds of instances. For videos is untenable. Only companies that are profiting from this (for example using such videos for training ai models, or using this videos to hook people and serve them highly personalized ads) can host a TikTok clone

    Saw “no censorship” in the description, and had suspicions. Got the app, and immediately scrolled past a “Jews secretly run the world” post followed shortly by a “Hitler was right about the Jews” post. Yeah, the problem with “no censorship” is that it inevitably falls prey to the Nazi bar problem.
