Like, I know why it's being banned or has been banned or whatever. I just don't understand the rage behind to keep this shitty ass social media platform that is essentially Vine 2.0

TikTok has been the detriment to society today as Facebook was and is. People doing stupid challenges. People's attention span getting lower and lower. People pretending they're more popular than life itself because of their faux acting and lip-syncing.

Why keep the piece of shit?

I find it interesting that people here appear to be valuing the "free speech" aspects of tiktok, but Meta has been hounded this week for the change in its moderation this week leaving it much more up to the community and less autocratic.

striking a good recommendation algorithm is impossible.

no matter what you do, somebody will complain. if you filter "good" news sources, some complain about it not being "free" enough. If you allow everybody to say what they say, you're gonna end up with a lot of hate speech.

TikTok for me has been this refreshing different media which wasn't mostly about politics, but about private artists creating whatever they do.
