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.
